Hey chekohler@chekohler, hope you're doing well! There's a lot in here I don't really agree with, myself, but I can see why you believe it, given the social situation you're living under. There's one thing I'd ask, though:

"Class warfare has been part of human nature for as long as we have been on this planet."

There is a very common habit of people who were raised under Western culture to conflate "how the West does things," with "human nature." This helps erase the existence and history of other people, like my own Lakota people, who while we've struggled with social issues throughout our history, have never had what a Westerner would recognize as "classism."

The human spectrum is broad. There are people alive today who have never bartered or traded, and don't even know the concepts. Let's not erase them out of anger with the system that traps us - instead, I try and make room for them, because outsiders tend to have some really clever perspectives on what's inside.
