The current situation is exactly as depicted.

Most of the population submits to ideals, promulgated through elite channels, that erase class, makes society seem as a unified whole unladen by competing interests, or afflicted by competing interests based on race, gender, or citizenship, rather than being shaped by the overarching antagonisms between owners and workers.

The capitalist class is overwhelmingly portrayed as benevolent and essential, and represented through terms such as “business leaders” and “change makers”, though they are far more accurately described as appropriators or exploiters.
