I think it shouldn't because most people still don't own any means of production and it's what unites us. If you saw the GameStop event, people joined from all over the world and all parts of the internet because the hate that wagies have against the elites transcends borders and ideologies just like Marx said. The power of this distinction is that it harnesses a natural source of unity that worked then and continues to work now. When people start attacking a random wage-earner for being "bourgeoise" because they have a smartphone and goes to starbucks, they just fail to realise that living standards changed but the distinction remained. There just aren't that many factory workers anymore in developed countries, but wealth inequality is only increasing.
