Up until the last part I thought your point was going to be "but now we have class mobility". Yeah, we don't 😫 freedom is an illusion for the most part, but a convenient one

Accepting the existence of class mobility doesn't imply freedom. Freedom to exploit your fellow workers and become a class traitor isn't freedom. It's just a fact that social mobility has increased significantly

Nah, I meant that workers really don't have freedom, but we are led to believe that we do have it, because it's convenient for the rich

I'm fully aware, I never said workers are free under capitalism
