Working people must live within a CLASS society. Way back in the middle of the 19th century Karl Marx in DAS KAPITAL explained the nature of capitalist exploitation and oppression. After slavery and feudalism working people in all advanced countries were " free " to sell their labor power ( physical and mental ) to the capitalist owners of the means of production. Not owning land, they are also " free " to pay rent to equally exploiting-ever greedy- landlords . Naturally the ruling class views a social order in which they are on top as the best of all possible worlds.
If you don't have a job under capitalism and can't afford rent , you are free to beg in the streets and be permanently homeless. Soon that homeless mob in Los Angeles will turn quite ANGRY.
The oppressed are rarely meek for very long . Just think how they started the Great French Revolution of 1789 . The Russian Revolution of 1917 . The Chinese Revolution of 1949 . The Cuban Revolution of 1959.
Picture the Coming American Revolution. The capitalists and landlords are already losing their minds way before they risk ( if uncompromising ) losing their heads.
The fall of 2021 in the USA will look a lot like Cairo , Egypt in 2011. A lot of pent up ANGER.
So " Let them eat cake " , you say ?
