Middle class is not a useful distinction anyway, there is the working class and the owning class.
Your mutual fund, stock account, or even a small business might mean you’re not starving and can live with less financial worry but then you have families where GENERATIONS of people can afford never to work in their lives. Those people are a bigger drain on society than the people on welfare or disability trying to get by.
Eliminate private ownership of the economy, period.
Maybe there’ll need to be some fire but you can also help spread class consciousness, join community organizations (especially if you’re in a larger city, where there should be established ones), or start your own. Try to join or form a workers union.
Build relationships and spread these ideas in your community and we’ll be a more powerful political force, move the overton window back to the left. Advocate for UBI and wealth taxes, support a global billionaire tax. We might not abolish capitalism but we can at least force the establishment to acknowledge the left.

I agree.
How?
Cause the only way I see is through fire, and no one wants that.
Organize as a collective and dilute power so that it’s difficult for the rich to take over again.

Stockpile molotov cocktails or give up, then. What can I say? It’s ok to be tired, but there’s no way but forward
