Yep, I remember well the many talks and meetings where the older heads had to again and again drive home that a plumber who owns his business and has worked his ass off for twenty years to buy a summer home when he's 45 is not "the rich", he's working class and an ally or at least the kind of people we are supposed to fight for. I didn't grow up among the black&reds as such, but I ran with them for a couple of years until it became clear to me that a) this is justa fad for most of them, and b) the serious hard core ones are almost all totalitarian communists at heart, who wants to regulate everything down to how much toilet paper everyone should get per month...
