Yes, sorry, I mean the redistribution of superprofit bourgeoisified these workers. The labor aristocracy consists of workers in so-called skilled trades and white collar work, both unionized and not, at the very top of the production chain. They're bequeathed investments through their positions and are able to buy up properties with their high wages, which they then hold in their families to pass on to descendants who can become further advanced by this generational wealth. They're not, like, literally aristocrats lol
