Calling one of the most well-paid and priviledged group of employees im human history, developers, tech workers is an insult o every labor movement in human history. As soon as you have posh white collar office job, you stop being a worker.

Do you own capital or work for it? If the latter, congrats, you're a worker.

And again, HN people living in their little US coastal bubble thinking that the rest of the tech world is as privileged as them. When I started I earned less than a factory worker in my town. Presumably because they wore blue overalls instead of a hoodie they were "real" workers and I wasn't...or does there have to be some level of salary where I can be declared "posh" and no longer a worker?

If your compensation is based on salary, you are a worker.

I'm pretty sure Marx would tell you that trying to divide rather than unify is the greatest insult to the labor movement

I'd say Marx would also have his issues with the most priviledged "worker" class out right refusing to unionize and even decrying unions as bad for everyone.

Sure, Marx and Engels both talk about their frustration with class treason, but they were also aware of the pervasive false consciousness in the working class.

LMAO!

As long as you do WORK to earn money, you are a worker.

Once you are earning from investments and not doing a thing, YOU ARE NO LONGER a worker.

You seem really out of touch with reality.
