That was the essential point of Marx's manifesto.

Today, the liberals and semi-socialists in America are driving that same point but in other and more subtle ways. They believe that "rich" people don't deserve the money they earn, and that it's all been done on the backs of poor people who really deserve that money. Redistribution of wealth is the common theme, and the implication is that if you're poor and uneducated, it's the fault of someone else and you are just a victim.
Um that isn't class warfare. Class warfare is the French Revolution. As the gap between the rich and poor in this country continues to grow maybe we will see it again. But not today.

Also, what do you call Republicans blaming everything on "illegal immigrants" or "welfare queens"? It doesn't fit my definition of "class warfare" but seems to fit nicely the way you redefine it.
