I went into the business/finance subforum and there was a thread on generational wealth where a bunch of goons talked about how to pass wealth to their children. One person mentioned having 8 rental properties and others implied that they basically had the option to make it so their children would never have to work. Another mentioned how it's annoying to inherit property from your parents and that cash is preferred because it's less of a pain to deal with. It legitimately confuses me how people can feel comfortable talking about that sort of thing. Like, shouldn't there at least be some shame?

I define middle class as anyone who derives their standard of living from both labor and capital. If someone works and draws a wage while also drawing any amount of income from investing, they are middle class. So, if a hypothetical someone makes six figures (pure wage, no stock) and rents while otherwise blowing their money on living, they are still working class, but that's where the whole labor aristocracy thing comes in... "Upper class" don't draw wage at all. They don't need to because they own the companies and make their livelihoods entirely by extracting profit. Fwiw, this is my own take on how these terms should be used to describe distinct types of people wrt their political economy.

These terms already exist, Proletariat and Bourgeoisie You could argue for the term "Petite Bourgeoisie," as well but I don't think that distinction needs to be made.

Like "ate poo poo on live tv" said, I think proletariat/bourgeoisie better describe this. The problem with using the terminology in the way you're using it is that it doesn't really leave any clear way to denote the huge different in quality of life between someone making, say, $30k/yr and someone making $150k. I feel like there are 2 important distinctions. One is the one you mentioned - whether someone draws most of their income from capital or whether they draw it from labor. The other is whether someone makes significantly more than people could expect to make under a hypothetical truly equitable society. I consider the latter important, because anyone who meets that standard stands to lose out from positive progress and can't be counted on to be an ally in the long run. While someone making $200k/yr with labor is still being exploited by capital, they are still doing better than they would under a more equitable, non-capitalist system. edit: Also, the term "middle class" very clearly carries connotations of "an 'average' amount of income/wealth," and there's no way anyone making, say $200k could be considered to fit this interpretation. Your definition would also probably leave out at least the bottom 50% of Americans (unless you're counting people who draw a relatively insignificant amount of money from capital relative to their labor income).

There is a lot of historical connotation wound up in these words, but I'd say that these days they are effectively synonyms. proles - working class middle class - petty burgers the rich / upper class - burgers and actual aristocracy/nobility Re: 200k/yr proles. That would fall under the "labor aristocracy". And I'd argue that having them exist is a strategic move by Capital to keep labor further divided into as many competing groups of bucketcrabs as possible. Seriously, the PPP in SF isn't the same as the PPP in Mississippi. You can't flatly compare wages without taking that into account, even though the people in SF do benefit more from cheap globalized goods, they are still paying > three grand a month in rent for a one bedroom apt on average.

I know that I'm being academically pedantic but, I am proposing these categories with clear lines so that they are rigorously meaningful rather than being muddled, questionable, and left up to interpretation.

I don’t know what this is from, but public spectacle is a big part of my plan here. Allow the billionaires some room for gamesmanship, so the ones near the top can rush to give away wealth before their number comes up. “This month we expected to behead Warren Buffet, but the crafty Oracle of Omaha has accelerated his philanthropy to an impressive degree, buying himself at least another month and moving Mark Zuckerberg to the top, making him the first millennial to be purged! Congrats Zuck!”

Congrats Zuck!” I feel like it would unironically be a good idea to have the government threaten to execute the richest person in the country, leading to the richest people giving away their wealth/assets to try and avoid being at the top. Could probably result in a lot of redistributed money for the cost of only a handful of lives. The main issue would probably be related to the difficulty of calculating the total value of individuals' assets, since the value would fluctuate and wealth could be hidden.
