“And you middle class Marxists just love it. :)”

The sad thing is that middle class Marxists think they’ll be at the top of the food chain if ‘glorious people’s revolution’ occurs.

Little do they know they’ll be among the first thrown into the mass graves once Marxists seize power. They don’t want useless eaters living among the scared, yet productive people that generate their, sorry, ‘glorious state’s’ wealth. Moreover, they’ll be the biggest threat to their power once they figure out that communism isn’t all its cracked up to be.

I’m surprised supervision isn’t walking down the rows of cubicles firing people at random and filling their jobs with turban-wearers. Oh, that’s next year...

Of course I’m sure they have already corrected this imbalance from 10 years ago when they encouraged employees to sign up for Facebook. /S

I’ve tried explaining this to them.

And I get laughed at, mocked, made fun of, talked down too and called a racist.

So what do you want me to say?

When the butchering begins, I’ll just remind these people that they’re racists to complain....

recruiters will not be able to see a candidate’s name or university education.

Oh good grief. Three words out of the candidate's mouth and you know. In the words of 'enry 'iggins Why can't the English teach their children how to speak? This verbal class distinction, by now, Should be antique....An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him, The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him. - My Fair Lady.

Reminds me of this bloody movie they made about being opposed to global warming.

Nazis gotta Nazi.

Karl Marx HATED the middle class. He wanted them DESTROYED.

Actually he hated the bourgeoisie, who were the owners of the means of production. It is the American left who turned this to hatred of the middle class.

>>> new employees will be asked to answer a range of questions about their socio-economic background, including whether they were entitled to free school meals as a child<<<<

I must say I grew up in a "lower socioeconomic" neighborhood in Cleveland. No free lunches! Pack a PB & J or hustle home for lunch (with parents permission). Moved from there in 1969 to the 'burbs. Still, there were only "reduced price" lunches (NOT free, you had to pay something), but most kids that might have qualified were too embarrassed to do that. PB & J all the way...

Back at ya Buckeye =^)

Sounds discriminatory. What about ideological diversity?

[Tzimisce]

Yes.

Bourgeoisie and middle class are synonyms.

Go look it up if you don’t believe me.

[originalbuckeye]

No, no, I suspect you have to toe the line on that subject.......just like here.

[originalbuckeye]

Yes. When I was in sixth grade, they needed cafeteria workers, so I signed up. Work every other day and get free lunch everyday. What a help that was!
