What do you think about class, class differences, the effect of class on politics and the place of class in political rhetoric? Is it something that people should focus on, and if so, how much? Should political leaders account for class when building organisations? Should class impact strategy?

I think class is hugely important, especially in American society where you see an accumulation of wealth at the top growing by the year and sped up thanks to covid, while the people at the bottom struggle to make rent. Unlike Marxists and Commies though I don't just want to help our people struggling at the bottom finically, I also want to help them spiritually, morally and in all ways which truly benefit the community

I think another interesting quirk of this more neoliberal or "leftist" perspective is seeing economic development and social welfare as just another way to "boost consumer spending" and fuel infinite growth. Personally, I always thought of social welfare as just a means to an end and an indispensable foundation for the higher spiritual, moral and cultural development of a given community.
