It’s called “Marxism”.
Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He DESPISED them.
He wanted them DEAD.
Using Marx’s ideas to help the middle class and small business owners is like using Hitler’s ideas to help the Jews.
But you middle class Marxists just love Ole’ Bernie. :)
He hated them because with a middle class there was no need for a communist revolution.
Well, Marx let his own children starve so he and Sanders are two of a kind. They tell other people how they must live while ignoring or being insensitive to anyone’s needs but their own.
Karl Marx hated the petit bourgeoisie with a passion. They tend to be a conservative bunch. Hard working and religious. Marx couldn't stand them. He hated them more than the "ruling class" because the petit bourgeoisie aspired to be wealthier, to succeed, to climb that economic ladder. To Marx, that was dangerous to the proletariat gaining strength and confidence to overthrow the "ruling class".
