Marx and Ebert

I also believe that the stated quote

"Wednesday: There is no middle class. The middle class is an

ideological illusion used to obscure class binaries and conceal the fact

that under capitalism society is breaking up more rigidly into two

classes whose opposition cannot be dissolved in the hybrid of a playful

in-between-ness" (Marx/Ebert)is an interesting quote indeed. As stated, people feel

safe falling under the middle class because they are in between the upper and the poor. This

is a man made thing, to have class is simply to categorize people in different "classes". Rich,

medium, or poor. Why can't we all be one? Why can't we all be equal.

As times change and the economy gets worse, I believe the middle and the poor are going

to fall under one roof and the upper will stay upper, because it is the middle class who is

suffering great losses (the lower class/the poor have always suffered).
