hint: it is actually two words.

(it's quite a nerdy/geeky joke)

Take a guess. It's a joke.

Yeah there are other UTs like UT Dallas, UT San Antonio, etc., but ours is "the UT".

UT Austin.

Well studying to be one.

Yeah, Nin's a good figure in my eyes, one of my favorite Marxists, even though others of the Marxist line will obviously disagree and try to tear his image down. But he tried to do good while he was around, and I never heard anything bad about him that some wouldn't say the same about Anarchists. So he must have done something right!

Just because our economic development is different doesn't mean our class is different. A lot of people slave away for the bare minimum in those countries, and I do as well over here. Sure, western countries have implemented laws where it may not seem like we're still wage-slaves, but these laws, such as guarantees to a breaks or lunches, union rights, etc. are meant to satisfy the working masses just enough that there isn't constant rebellion (such as there once was...) I live hand-to-mouth, and work for a living. Just because I'm better off than the proletariat of another country doesn't change my position into part of the ruling class. All labor is exploited. I don't understand your understanding of classes. The impression you've given is that western societies have developed their capitalism faster, thus somehow equaling total bourgeoisie populations? I don't get it...
