Calling them “the political class” instead of “the rich” seems like you’re trying to sow seeds of distrust for the government and politicians. But it’s in our power or have effective representative government that provides services and protection for all citizens. We need to stop the exploitation by the rich.
And they fucking deserve it.
When the political class are financed by, and work in service of the rich, they are just as much a part of the problem. The idea that a system designed by those in power to maintain their power would ever enable those without it to affect meaningful change by following the rules is so far beyond ridiculous, it really is a testament to the power of their propaganda that people genuinely believe in it.
The state is not your friend
