There never has been. You either sell your body and labour, or own enough capital for it to self sustain, or at least be sustained by the labour class.

If we're doing Marx, don't forget the petite bourgeoisie, who draw significant income from both. They were minor in Marx's day, partly because very little was publicly traded, but they're actually the wealthiest group by far now, taken as a whole.

Exactly, you're either a part of the working class or capitalist class
