Consider someone works to live, but puts excess cash into various mutual funds that invest in companies on their behalf. Things like their car, electronics, and stock are all capital.
I had to verify with Google to make sure I wasn’t going crazy, but it seems like that person would be both a worker and a capitalist
I’m really trying to understand your point, but still don’t see the conclusion. I have to breathe to live. So am I a worker or a breather?
They’re not exclusive at all. Maybe I’m working so I can earn capital and retire - at which point I’m living without working, but still a capitalist.
You might aspire to be a capitalist, but you are not one at that point in time.
The point is that a real capitalist should have capital.
