The marxists are correct there is the wage earning class and also the ownership class

They are incorrect in that there is no strict separation of the two.

Anyone in tech can easily enter the ownership class. American assets are exceptionally cheap for what they are. It's very easy to purchase asset producing goods, whether that be businesses or real estate.

The ownership class matter because a worker exchanges time for money. Time is finite. Ownership is not.

A career is a quick and low volatility way towards ownership. You owe no loyalty to any company or any manager. Only owe loyalty to your friends, family, and the financial assets you own. These things reflect on you. Your job is just a distraction.
