Bruh. There's nothing "toxic" about it. Are you even a Socialist or Communist? Maybe the reason u think there's "toxicity" with the word because you're ideologically more Conservative? Our at a minimum u haven't actually read up on it.

Its more and more not used to refer to poor people like originally intendet but to 3rd generation coal miners that own businesses now

Yes, what Americans think "working-class" means both violates the older, common understanding that it means "poor" and the technical Marxist definition (someone who does not own capital but earns wages through labor)
