We live in perpetual class occupation precisely because the owner class has never had a problem assaulting the lower classes, while the lower classes argue about how unseemly and unfair it would be to fight back.

The path forward not involving the peasants actually fighting back for once is just more of the same, the owner class leveraging their capital/power/governmental capture to get more for themselves by finding new and interesting ways to exploit you.

No, there is no way forward with any hope that doesn’t involve class war. Fortunately for the owners, their divisive propaganda is working as intended. We’re more interested in fighting one another over social wedge issues, largely exacerbated by economic inequity btw(more peasant income, for example, would mean fewer abortions without bans as abortion is often, obviously, and understandably an ECONOMIC decision), than our common enemies at the top. Until we stop looking for fellow peasants to blame for our problems and start looking upward at the root cause, there is no hope.
