Class Warfare: Moochers VS Producers

Marx did basically believe in two classes, and one was in fact a producer class. The other, however, wasn't the "moocher" class, but the capitalist class. Marx saw that a small segment of the population was able to become rich off of the labor of others without lifting a finger. They are the "overseers," "owners," "CEOs," and "Boards of Directors." They own capital, while the other 99% of society "owns" only their own ability to perform labor for someone else for money. If, Marx said, these 99% (or even some of them) realized that THEY are actually the ones who have built societies, and NOT the people on magazine covers and at the thrones of power, they could dramatically turn society on its head--the producers would run society; the capitalist class would become a distant memory.

But the way Marx described it, the Producers were the labor class and the Moochers where the managers getting rich off all their hard work without lifting a finger.
