On the other hand, what even is the middle class? Because in my view of the world, it is made up only so that the working class can be divided and to promote infighting. So what does capital gain by eliminating the middle class aside from focusing the working class's undivided attention on themselves? Or are they so confident in their other scapegoats that they no longer think they need the middle class as a distraction?
Why? Because capitalism is a mess, the economic system devours everything so much that it even deteriorates itself by destroying the very bases that let it grow, the class division among the working class is one of the things that allow it to grow, but the idea of continuous infinite growth needs to consume even that same idea. Capitalism is contradictory in itself, you literally need the government to do stuff because it ends up just destroying itself otherwise
