    I would argue there are at least 3 classes:

    • The impoverished class that makes their living from the charity of others

    • The working class that makes their living from their labor

    • The ownership class that makes their living from owning things

        in sane countries you actually can go quite far on charity alone, most every civilized place on earth outside of the US fully understands that most crime is done out of desperation than anything else…so they insure there are plentiful safety nets.
