What Is Social Class? | Socialism 101 #6?

Social class is like having different kinds of candy in a big jar, some are bigger and fancier, others are smaller and simpler.

Imagine you and your friends all have jars of candy. If you have a jar full of big, shiny gummy bears, that means you’re in the upper class, you get more fun stuff every day. Now, if your jar has just a few plain candies, like regular jelly beans, you're in the lower class, you still get candy, but not as much or as fancy.

Sometimes, people can move up or down in their jar of candy. If you save your allowance and buy more gummy bears, you might be able to trade with someone else and end up with a fancier jar.
