UK now has 7 social classes - old model of working/middle/upper class is obsolete, according to huge - Polidicks

I find it a little sad that if I stay with my parents I'm in the Newly affluent workers class but if I step out into the world on my own I'm instantly in the Precariat class. Guess who's going to have their 40th birthday at their parents house? ME!

I'm not established middle class, our house only cost £16,000 and just because I know a variety of people with various jobs doesn't make me so either.

Apparently I'm Established Middle Class. Bullshit. Me and my family are no where near that high.

THERE'S ONLY ONE CLASS FOR ME, AND THAT'S THE WORKING CLASS, MOTHERFUCKERS! [img]http://crossfitbako.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/labor-day-shutterstock.jpg[/img] PROLES 4 LIFE but seriously, class distinctions based on wealth or service are silly. Classes were originally interpreted in relation to the control of resources, and specifically property and the means of production, and that's how it should remain: your place in society is constantly shifting, and with it your social strata and your wealth ownership, but your class- which is a measure of your emancipation relative to resources- is not determined by how much money you make. You can be making six figures, or four, but if you don't own your own means of production and must sell your labor in order to progress or maintain, then you are of one class. It was a fine ruse of western nations to begin to determine "class" as being relative to your property/wealth ownership, or your method of selling your labor/buying labor, because in capitalist nations, everyone's simply a disenfranchised millionaire, and it's best if we all think of each other as different placed on the same level, instead of different groups. Well, best if you consider "lessening the conflict between classes by separating the majority class into more classes, but destroying class itself as a concrete position" as the best.

Emergent worker, surprize! Also this test made me realize how diverse the occupations amongst my family and friends are. I was able to tick everything else besides scientist and university lecturer.

Established middle class. Makes sense. I'm doing pretty well at the moment.

I'm a New affluent worker.

I'm an elite, what the fuck. I'm extremely poor compared to my uncles. I guess wealth inequality really is a huge problem in the US, even between the 'elite' there seems to be huge gaps.

Precariat. Not surprised.

I got 'Elite' despite my household being well under the national average for household income and not doing anything fancy. Either I broke it, or it's complete bullshit.

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;40142538]I don't know anybody with any of those jobs what a ridiculous metric[/QUOTE] I agree the metric is ridiculous, but you seriously know nobody with any of those jobs? Do you just not go outside?

Emergent Service Workers unite We got nothing to lose but our name badges

Precariat... Feels bad man :dance:
