I’d like to start a discussion about class in Ireland. I think it can be somewhat alienating to discuss in broad dialectic terms like proletariat / bourgeoisie. I’ll start with a short list and we can try to crystallise the nature of class society in Ireland today.

-Those who live off returns on their property, never to labour.

-Salary Earners- Managers / Civil Servants / Finance / (Labour Aristocracy).

-Wage-Labourers.

-State-subsidised living (“Dole merchants” too alienated to get off job-seekers).

-Technically Homeless.

-Out on the street Homeless.

Please criticise and help make something more accurate and nuanced. I’ve not really expanded on Salary Earners and Wage Laboure
