“As far as I can tell - they cannot be convinced to live otherwise.”
And the solution offered by the left is to bring down all other classes to the level of the underclass. That way, there is only ONE class...
Actually TWO. The party leaders and government officials (and the military, of course, which must enforce the party and government diktats) become the upperclass.
That’s a good point.
I found myself wondering - where would the upperlass and underclass go to? In what direction?
There will always be differences in people.
There will always be competitive motivated people.
There will always be not-so-motivated and downright lethargic people.
So there will always be an underclass.
