Question: I have heard that in many countries the so-called middle class is the driving force that activates the working class and contributes to population growth. However, historically the middle class has been almost non-existent in Ukraine due to past repressions and current instability. Can you explain why and how this situation can be changed?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Ukraine Webinar.
Well, the middle class has traditionally been the enemy of Marxism, going all the way back to Marx and Lenin. The bourgeoisie was seen as the enemy of revolution because it was seen as the class who had something to lose, they were in a privileged position and therefore, they wanted to maintain the status quo. That is why Marxism was directed against the workers, because the fallen beings determined that since they had the least to lose, they were the easiest class to manipulate, they were also the less educated, whereas the middle class usually was better educated and therefore, not as susceptible to believing in Marxist ideals.
The Soviet Union did everything they could to eradicate the middle class wherever they had influence. Of course, in doing so they created another middle class, namely the party elite.
What can be done in Ukraine? Well, what can be done is the transition into a modern, more free economy, as especially Portia just talked about. As you do this, there will be the emergence of what you can call a middle class. It is not really correct to say that the middle class is the driving force that activates the working class, but certainly any country needs to have a middle class. It is the driving force in order to function in the best possible way. This will come naturally as Ukraine improves its economy, as it will do when the war stops.
