I'd recommend reading a few historical class analyses and cross applying the method, rather than the conclusions, to the system you're examining. All sorts of factors can influence subclasses of people in various directions, and no abstract category is going to be monolithic. Mao's analysis of the classes in China from like 1926 is succinct and understandable

Who makes up the labor aristocracy, what are their material interests? Are they educated, and in what ways? What is their current economic trajectory, and how is their cultural narrative or mythology shaping their understanding of said trajectory?
