pretty much. this entire thread is just folks arguing over the meanings of middle class, and most of them denying it exists as if that is going to create class solidarity. it won’t. majority of posters probably are middle class folks who would never in a million years associate with truly working class people. esp because the working class is typically conservative and doesn’t have liberal/progressive values, at least in the USA.
In Belgium lower income people also tend to vote more extreme. It’s even shown that whenever extreme right parties grow, it’s usually because they convinced people that previously voted extreme left.
People who vote for the socialist party are typically retired or work for the government in some capacity.
Let the Leftist infighting commence!

The middle class exists, and it sides with capital in its class interests.
