Any scholar of Marx's theory who hasn't figured out by now that the proletarians are not "just another class" in present society, but are the actual new society--communist society--actually taking form within the womb of the old society, have already failed the IQ test.

Adjusted for inflation, the 1965 minimum wage of $1.25 would be $68.32 in 2023.
That's an annual wage of $142,108.57, or just shy of what a UPS driver now makes.
Yes, UPS driver, who everyone has been talking about all day, barely makes more than a minimum wage worker in 1971!
In 1965, the minimum wage was $1.25, 5 silver quarters.
Today just the melt value of 5 silver quarters is $20.70.
It's the same silver, just a different currency.
I post this once in a while just to tick off the Fed fanbois.

How Marxists do class analysis:
1. Decide that a movement is "fascist".
2. Look up the alleged social base of "fascism" in some dusty book written in the 1920s.
3. Conclude, without any investigation, that this must be the class making up the movement they described as fascist.

Communists want to replace Social Security with an 18 hour work week.
Bernie Sanders wants you to work until you die and use your payroll taxes to buy munitions for Israel and Ukraine.
88 years ago, before Social Security became law, about 50% of seniors lived in poverty. Today, as a result of that program, that number is much lower. While there are those in Congress who want to cut Social Security, our job is to do the opposite. We must protect and expand it.

Social Security is the third rail of American politics, not because it allows people to retire, but because most of the payroll tax revenue is used to fund the US military. Working people are overtaxed, to support the American Empire.

A $7,900 house in 1955 would cost about $432,000 today.
A mortgage of $49.74 would run you about $2,700 today, depending on a number of factors.
$7,900 in 1955 is equivalent to $90,110 today.
