Unless you are here arguing against your own interests (and I’m choosing my word there carefully) I’d say it’s pretty relevant.

I think you would say I was arguing against my interest when I held socialist(like radical socialist) beliefs. My values changed since then. We are not defined by the circumstances we find ourselves in.

Also, I reject that class war rhetoric that is championed by Marxists.

In any case, I am arguing in good faith. If my social position is enough to make you disregard me completely, then you are not.

I’m not a marxist, nor a socialist. But if I have to believe in unbridled greed to support capitalism then I should start looking around.

If you are wealthy and arguing not to raise taxes on the wealthy, it’s hard to disregard your self interest no matter what you claim. Edit: And it’s disingenuous of you to conceal it for that very reason.

I was not concealing it. I strongly implied I was.
