Labor vs Everybody
Labor vs Robber Barons & Capitalists & Government
Politicians promise to “make America great again”, go back to “what we used to be”. The people hearing that think of the 1950s, with opportunity, employment, and a growing middle class. When a partnership between, strong unions, strong Government, and strong Corporations, all with a national interest, in spite of an adversarial roll. But in fact, those politicians want to go back to the post Civil War boom of capitalism. Quote:

Yes, there's a theme...

I think this line's mostly filler.

The "better classes" mean "lowest strata" when they say any of the others, but they say the others so the other members of the "lowest strata" fight amongst themselves.

You're probably right, as at the time there was pretty much only two strata. However later, the lowest strata is less likely to cause the "better classes" anguish than the strata one rung down. Then again, the "fer us" always assigns the "agin us" to the lowest strata possible.
