The middle classes
are sunless.
They have only two measures:
mankind and money,
they have utterly no reference to the sun.
As soon as you let people be your measure
you are middle-class and essentially
non-existent.
Because, if the middle classes had no poorer people to
be superior to
they would themselves at once collapse into lower
classness.
And if they had no upper classes either to be inferior
to,
they’d become nothing.
For their middleness is only an unreality separating two
realities.
No sun, no earth,
nothing that transcends the bourgeois middlingness,
the middle classes are more meaningless
than paper money when the bank is broke.
