      I agree we have different ideas of what “race” does and possibly should mean: when I say race I’m referring to any type of ethnic classification system, whether benign, hostile, or even theoretical. My point is that there are a lot of different ways to classify and divide “race”

      But there’s no such ambiguity in regards to labor vs. capital.

      You’re the second person I’ve seen recently make this distinction and I genuinely don’t see the utility, in your scenario an old retired lady with an antique shop that doesn’t turn a profit and has no employees has more social power than a billionaire CEO beholden to shareholders

      Yup I mean it's kind of funny that the go-to term people use as a synonym for "capitalist" is "CEO" CEOs of large companies typically are compensated with a lot of stock in the company, but "CEO" itself is an employee position

      eh sort of, most ceos either own a controlling interest or are directly elected by investors, calling it an employee position is kinda misleading.

      Okay but regardless of how you become a CEO, on paper, "CEO" is a job - it has responsibilities you are required to fulfill in order to be compensated

      sure but thier main job is to be a direct representative for the capitalist class.

      And a representative is a job description. It’s why the labor vs capital divide is problematic because it puts a CEO in the position of having oess theoretical power than a guy with a van with a craigslist ad offering to help someone move, he’s the owner if his company.

      That’s why my distinction on capital vs labor is dependent on whether their income stream stops if they stop working. Many (not ALL but probably most) of small business owners are workers to some extent, I would guess.

      Well, okay, but you're still saying the relative amount of money doesn't matter A retiree with a 401(k) is a "capitalist" while LeBron James (until such time as he retires) is a "worker" This doesn't really speak to what most people's concerns are re: "class"

      I mean does the "income stream" part actually matter? If I have no income, only wealth that I'm slowly spending - say I inherited $10 million from my dad and because I'm eccentric I put it all in a checking account and didn't invest any of it - am I a "worker" then

          The genuinely "idle rich" are mostly a thing of the past That's one notable feature about the culture in which we now live, it's normative for everyone to have some kind of job, rich people culture places great emphasis on "business", on literally staying busy

          So it's very common for rich people to have $20 million and to also have some job they got because of the $20 million Sometimes the job is pure bullshit, sometimes it isn't - they might actually work really hard at the office Does it make them not "capitalists"

          You’re neither a worker or capitalist in that situation. Work would require you to do labor and capital would require interest on your wealth. Your no different than a guy blowing his paycheck at a bar, just for years at a time instead of hours.

          Okay so what if I did put my money on investments but the investments are generally bad I bought $10 million in stock but while the stock hasn't collapsed it's also never paid dividends and I pay my bills by slowly selling it

          no and if none of that money is invested you wouldn't really be part of the capitalist class either, but thats a pretty blatant edge case.

          My point is I don't think it matters Sitting on a pile of cash you did nothing to earn is still capitalist A pile of dollar bills is a pile of "stock certificates", or as Warren Buffett, the surprisingly woke billionaire said, they're a pile of "work orders on other employees"
