## class analysis from the anarchist perspective
There is a lot of chatter from uninformed individuals about what qualifies as proletariat and who meets these qualifications. What anarchotypists online say is the left having "vibes based" assessments on class and who is proletariat, is actually just having a non black and white outlook on a situation that is actually nuanced.
## Who would've thought....
Yes, programmers, some actors, and high earning individuals can be in the proletariat class. No, that does not mean that they are acting in interest of it, and might not be incentivized to either. There are other class distinctions in this country besides this, and it has a lot to do with being inside the imperial core.
## marijuana, chicken tenders, and flat screen TVs
Writing this as someone who also lives in ~~*redacted*~~, I too enjoy on occasion the jalapeño poppers from chilis, the weed from my local dispo, and all the other ameninities that we have for cheap, brought to you by, US Imperalism and debt trapping. Our lives our cheap, and could be very cheap if we adopted the nordic model of social democracy here, slave labor outsourced! Of course it's w rong, but most people don't understand it. I bring this up to make another point, there are massively subdivided classes in the proletariat in America because of this.
## yes, the labor aristocracy is real, SORRY YOU DONT THINK IDIOT
Your average tech worker making over 100k a year is not bourgeoisie. they do not own the means of production, and is still subject to the boss, but their material condition - health care, housing security/preservation, bonuses, stock options, 401k etc. align them with system preservation. Imperial privilege is scrambling YOUR BRAIN
