Yeah but striving for a “middle” class implies the existence of an upper and lower class.

There is, and always has been. You're putting the cart before the horse. We are so far removed from removing class, it's not worth discussing. Expanding the middle class is an achievable goal, and works towards what you're talking about.

It's about as realistic as magically removing corruption in a capitalist government...

Sure, but you can work towards reducing corruption.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Impossible. In all two thousand years has never been done.

Reducing corruption? What are you smoking? It's happening right now in Ukraine, just off the top of my head.
