The process of class consciousness is tough cause you'll realize how slop and bourgeoisified the proletariat really is.

The programming and ideologies of people are based on relations, distorted material conditions, and false concepts and commodities. You strip away capital and state we are nothing more than a cooperative animal with potential for collective capacities.
What I find so strange is that for some reason all the "vanguard" people all seem to agree that the non-vanguard people are utterly exploited and without a society that attempts to seize its means will instead end up sharing existence with reactionaries. Even as far back as Marx there was the idea of needing some kind of class education to ensure most people have their minds so filled with fetishes that they're too confused to act revolutionary but also so confused they don't even fight against the capital. The reason you get to the conclusion that without these systems we're just alienated is because for some reason a fuck ton of people really do seem to be almost commodified. As though life is really just the few real historical agents out their trying to argue with one another on how the hell we should dialectically wrangle the rest of society.

And honestly I really do think that this analysis is true. Just look at history. I hate using them but I asked AI to try and get me a ratio of "classes important enough to be in a history compared to workers" and it said around 0.02%, or about 1 in 5000. Of coarse not all history is recorded and not every real revolutionary changes history but lets' say we multiplied that by 1000 times just to be generous. That'd still mean only 1 in 50 people would be considered class conscious and interesting enough to be able to not be just a dumb laborer. Statistically that means 49 in 50 people in all history are just surplus masses that serve no purpose then to hopefully produce surplus and aid in the upbringings of that 1 in 50. And even then this number is off people with a wiki, there are bourgeoisie so stupid throughout history they got mentioned.

So really I think looking at society is just statically going to make you feel sad because evidence shows that most people are alienated at worst and utterly forgettable at best. All you can do is organize or delude yourself to become or think you are that 1 in 50 that does class struggle and isn't like the rest.
