      I’d say it’s a mix, most Australians would have some sort of equity in stock or investment property or something like this

      I just realised you’re referring to communism I think, I’m not sure if you’re joking or a uni student

        I’m a 40-something white collar worker earning a six figure income, that predominantly is as a result of my labour.

        Just because my wife and I own shares that pay dividends, as well as having a few other sources of “passive” income mean that we aren’t part of the labour force.

        The Capitalist class refers to individuals with an 8+ figure net worth who’s primary source of income is passive - ie. their wealth and political influence is on a scale that dwarves what the other >99% of the nation.
