I repeat: If the middle-class is "becoming non-existent", I'm very interested to hear what you think is replacing it. And if the answer is "nothing", then what social relations exist in its absence?
Honestly I don't know what's replacing it. I'd have to answer with nothing, I guess. I think middle class is regressing into poverty level. Cost of living going up, wages staying the same. Every home has to have 2 incomes to make ends meet. Jobs diminishing as people are being replaced by robots, not being able to retire at 65 anymore. The opportunities that middle class once had to start their own business is not there anymore.
Ah, in that case, the middle-class isn't diminishing, it's just less wealthy.
We can't define classes by something in flux, such as income, but by the definite social relations that they are, i.e., their relation to the means of production.
