Luigi wasn't lower class, tho? You could try to argue his family was middle class but even that's a stretch, his grandfather donated a million dollars on a single event and Luigi attended both a Private High School where he was Valedictorian and he had a Masters Degree from Ivy League University of Pennsylvania.

You can be rich and still fight against an oligarchy. That's why it's class warfare. His actions line up with the poor fighting back against the rich using the same tools they use: murder.

Do you have to be a slave to fight against slavery?

There's no higher, middle or lower class. Those are all lies from the owning class to divide the working class and it seems like they're working on you.

His family owns a lot of real estate.

Worker class is the true unifier. You can be lower, mid, and upper worker class.

If you have to work to live, you're working class. If your employer controls a significant portion of your life and time, you're working class.

He's a class traitor, to our side. So a working class hero, as in a hero to the working class.

I guess people from lower class can't stand for themselves as they are busy surviving. Revolutionnary figures were often from middle class (Lenine, Che...)

Neither were most revolutionaries. This is a pattern that has long historical support.

Sure hope this doesn't follow any patterns, based on past outcomes.

As I understand it his family owns multiple resorts and real estate and has multiple companies. Not really what I'd call lower class.

Family money isn't necessarily his money, Grandpa may be a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps pussy" kind of guy.

"pull yourself up by your bootstraps pussy"

That's more upper class, I can't imagine real rich people would their own like that. But who knows.

I also don't approve any attacks on his character via this angle. It is important to discuss but the mans work speaks for itself.

His class is secondary discussion here.

IMHO
