Poor began to celebrate the ills of society: wife beating, drinking, fighting, whore mongering. Class warfare allowed for public services: prison invented to help rehabilitate crap people, education to help take away children for 8 hours a day from their shitty parents, police, fire departments. General idea: many social services that we know today are products of class warfare in the 19th century. Our world is a reflection of their world.
