    Frankly, I think the Professional Managerial Class is more of an impediment to progress in the US. They’re content with having 25-80% more than their peers, and thus will happily unite with the petite bourgeoisie to punch downwards at any progressive reforms.

        They are, but if you’re only focused on one element, without seeing the whole picture, than any solution is temporary at best.

        It’s not just that billionaires are bad, their existence is a symptom of a larger broken system. And within that same broken system are millions of cogs that perpetuate and solidify the system’s processes. So without addressing the Professional Managerial Class and petite bourgeoisie’s complicity, the system would simply create more billionaires after enough time has passed.

        To say that these other elements are “a distraction” is dismissive of larger root problems. So consider that your perspective is too narrow.
