You are only a capitalist if you are literally the capital. If you aren’t literally a pile of gold bars in a safety deposit box then you’re just a smol bean worker!
Money can be capital. For example if you take a loan against the gold bars and use that as investment to make more money. From The Long Twentieth Century:
An agency is capitalist in virtue of the fact that its money is endowed with the “power of breeding” (Marx’s expression) systematically and persistently, regardless of the nature of the particular commodities and activities that are incidentally the medium at any given time.
This is revisionism. Real capitalists are people who are one with their state capital. There’s only 50 of them worldwide and being a capital of a country doesn’t count.
