The capitalist caste system can be broken. It's not like the real caste
system where those who reject it are designated to be in the outcaste
caste, and others are told that their fate depends on accepting their
lot and hoping to be reborn in a higher caste. The capitalist castes are
a state of mind where people have allowed themselves to be disadvantaged
through lack of organization and cooperation.
With your attitude that the 'big guys' control the 'little guys', then
the 'little guys' will remain stuck at the bottom. My attitude with
every job, and in working for myself, is that I ALWAYS work for myself
first and foremost. When I make customers or employers look good, it
makes me look good, increasing the value of what I produce.
If you let others take that away from you, you're complicit in hurting
yourself, even though changing the situation is yet harder than most
work. Why be so downtrodden?
We don't agree on much, Steve, but this we do.
The trouble happens when some people have bought into believing their guy or
girl isn't part of the caste system, and are blind to the real behind the
scenes. The players at the top depend on the little guys arguing at the
bottom so they don't see what is actually happening, and argue we do.
