The Lumpen are legit though because they're just autistic people capable of productive work psychologically but not within the social apparatus of "the working class" which you've already admitted is shit

Put another way, if you define "The working class" as shit then anything outside the working class is not shit and this includes classes both above and below the working class.

honestly, the upper classes embody values that the working class would do good to emulate they just have a better culture they aren't *infallible*- we could interrogate their culture as well it comes down to *in what ways* does wealth inform culture, and vice-versa

Dunno. The game theory of alternating bargains suggests to me that the poor are "exploited" in the sense they're bargaining from a position of weakness. But the poor also are disproportionately less competent, moral, intelligent, etc. But it's downstream of something material.
