Right, middle class is a nebulous idea that doesn’t really have much meaning behind it. I agree that class membership derives its meaning from the relations in society. If majority of the income comes from the capital the individual owns then they’re a member of the capitalist class, and if majority of their income comes from their labour then they’re a member of the working class. These two classes have contradictory interests since capital owners act as employers of the workers.
