It's class, stupid

To understand economic justice, we need to think beyond touching anecdotes about lost jobs, untreated illnesses and hungry kids.

"Classes are large groups of people differing from each other by the place they occupy in a historically determined system of social production, by their relation (in most cases fixed and formulated by law) to the means of production, by their role in the social organization of labor, and, consequently, by the dimensions of the share of social wealth of which they dispose and the mode of acquiring it. Classes are groups of people one of which can appropriate the labor of another owing to the different places they occupy in a definite system of social economy." -- V.I. Lenin, A Great Beginning, in Collected Works, Vol. 29, p. 421.
