FAANG engineers are still labor, they're just well paid labor.

We don't have an AMA or Bar association gatekeeping entry, even.

Unless you have an insanely optimistic viewpoint on socialism, it's very unlikely that every laborer will gain if capitalism ends. Even Lenin recognized the need to cap the wages of the highest paid skilled laborers.[1]

I was more offering an opinion on where we all fit into the class system. Not offering opinions on any variety of socialism.
