Marx d 1883. JEV b 1953. Capitalism existed before JEV.

Conflating the ruling class with JEV is not smart.

Whatever his influence and connective powers and even direct power may have been.

Although in some situations it is rhetorically useful to remind people about the pedophilia, etc, and to draw those connections. But constantly doing it is lazy and with over use, will lose effect. Just as for the catholic church, or boy scouts. Sort of a joke.

We don't refer to "the Regan class" even though virtually every problem on planet earth has some roots in Ronald Regan Regime. Without Regan there is no Epstein.

In my effortpost I said that I dont like the conflation of p**dophilia with class, in the exact phrase "p*do class"

However, "epstein class" is fine, because I think it actually separates itself from the crime in general, and actually defines itself as the crime as committed by the ruling class. So that makes more sense to me. Careful wording does matter in this situation, I think.
