There are over 1.5 million software engineering jobs in the US and less than a third of them are in Silicon Valley. Neoliberal horizontal hostility trap. average software engineer makes around $150k. Yes that’s a fantastic salary beyond what many people could imagine but that’s not a quit your job at 40 kind of salary. Y’all are mad at the wrong people. Did you quit your job when the frito lay strike happened? Why not? No class solidarity smh
It's bourgeoisification theory - wealthy workers in the West have been bourgeoisified by the superexploitation of the third world proletariat and thus do not actually have the same class interests as the rest of the working class. Sure, they might not have "quit your job at 40" kind of salary, but they do not ever actually experience economic hardship alongside the rest of us.
Those people will never support socialism. You have to realize this.
I can say for a fact that some of them do, but it's definitely a lower percentage of the total when compared to average working class folk that support socialism.
Fair, there will always be class traitors.
They can't be relied on as a base of support though. They're atomized and cut off from struggle.
