There are people who are fully owners and don’t do any labour, and those who subsist entirely on their labour and don’t own anything. Would it be fair to say that the middle class is anyone who works but still owns a non-zero amount of appreciating or revenue-generating assets?
in sane countries you actually can go quite far on charity alone, most every civilized place on earth outside of the US fully understands that most crime is done out of desperation than anything else…so they insure there are plentiful safety nets.
rock bottom in austrailia doesn’t compare to rock bottom in (insert red state of choice)
How about those that own things and control people so much that they can somehow get enough charity to live off it?
I somehow fail to understand how that manages to be a viable method.
There is no ‘middle’ class. There is only ownership and labour.

I would argue there are at least 3 classes:
The impoverished class that makes their living from the charity of others
The working class that makes their living from their labor
The ownership class that makes their living from owning things
You basically can’t live on charity one of the classes you mentioned almost doesn’t exist

Fair enough, but in a more just system, the impoverished class would barely exist, if at all.
FTFY :P
Thanks
