    They may have to work to earn a wage but their wage will always be secure and enough to keep them satisfied

      so is like some oil rig worker guy, who you could also argue to be as much of a servant of capital

      idk, seems like an arbitrary exclusion and more simple and personally satisfying to me at least to call them working class, but traitors to their class (but this also is individually variable bc again some rich dude deciding “hey I wanna be a cop” isn’t the same as someone who otherwise needs to earn a wage to survive but then becomes a cop)

      the predication of survival on the ability to earn a wage, which is only available through labor in the employ of those who own the means of production, is what determines whether a person is “working class” or not, to me

      and again like idk what’s wrong with calling all cops class traitors lmao
