    In the same way having a 401k or superannuation does.

    Which is to say not very much, and the borders of class are a little fuzzy. AFAIK dividends are not the main way to make money off stock any more and I doubt anyone on robin hood was seeing that increase their wealth.

      The main way to make money off stocks is actually to use marxism.

      If you’ve read and understood Marx and Lenin, then you can use the theory to make great returns. It’s simple. Just find the most exploitative, evil, reactionary company in the most exploitative, evil reactionary country (the US) and invest in that. I’m talking about companies like mueller industries, Berkshire Hathaway, and HCA.

      The US will do whatever it takes to give returns to “their” capitalists. The market has proven this theory time and time again.

      Praxis, but bourgeois praxis.
