People read communist theory because they want to find the root causes of their own and societal poverty. So they're not really separate social groups / classes, one person is just asking the why and the other isn't.
I started reading theory because I'm working class. I already hated capitalism, but didn't understand the ways it works or what needs to be done to establish socialism. I wrote a basic ML study guide if anyone wants a place to start!
Look, I might not know much about this whole "reading and writing" thing, but I do know them smary pants billionaires do it all the time and they all ended up being child rapists so I sure and hell ain't gonna try to learn it.
You can borrow $10 if you sign this contract promising to return it to me with 9000% interest by tomorrow or else the interest rate increases 9000% on top of that every minute after the original agreed return time.

When someone makes more money in an hour than we make in a year, we're all poor.

Poor people with poor class consciousness are apt to fall for false consciousness.

No, most of them are well paid urban professionals, who got a very good start in life and punch down at every opportunity.
They're a seperate group.
Actual working class poor, don't have time to read communist theory.
