    You can be both a capitalist and a worker…

    Not only that, but being a capitalist doesn’t necessarily you’re giga rich, it just means you think favorably of capitalism as an economic system.

      it just means you think favorably…

      By that logic, a literal slave could be a capitalist so long as they believe in the efficacy and morality of capitalism. That doesn’t even track the layperson usage of “capitalist”.

      edit: Apparently this last claim is false.
