    Serious question not trying to troll here: Isn’t everyone stuck in this hellish capitalist system part of that class?

      No. Classes are determined by how you get your money and by how comfortable you are.

      If you are working for a paycheck, you do not touch capital.

      The definitions are tricky based on how you read them, but no. Your role in society is to perform labor (I’m assuming), and the fruits of that labor are then forfeited to those above you for a wage. Thus they have the capital and would belong to the “capitalist class.”
