While true, the majority of them (in terms of humans, not dollars) are merely capitalists of the “temporarily embarrassed” variety.
The thing about the 1% is that they’re a really small part of the population. Less than 5% of all people are in the top 1% richest people. Extremely rich people may be overrepresented in EA, but I doubt they are overrepresented enough to beat all the prole EAs in a fistfight should they all suddenly become militant communists or something.
A reasonable subset of EAs are extremely wealthy rentier capitalists and thus arguably already have class consciousness.
If you’re already the boot, you might as well side with the other boots.
my bad. When I said “class consciousness” I meant a full mental transformation to radical communism, words are difficult

I would pay to see that.
