It’s literally communist terminology…if you Google “ruling class” the first sentence is “in Marxist philosophy…”

I know people on Reddit throw it around like candy but don’t fault me for calling it what it is, and explaining it will be an instant turn-off for the majority of people.

I’m faulting you for saying something that is objectively correct is only correct for “a communist.” The truth is the truth, whether you’re too reactionary to refer to the economic class that rules the “ruling class” or not.

Well it might make you feel warm and fuzzy to use your politically charged terms, might get you upvotes in a Reddit echo chamber - just saying…hit someone up in the real world with that verbiage and you’re gonna get an eyeroll, comrade.

So what’s a better word for “ruling class”? “Globalists”?
