Hadn't heard of it. Just read it. Interesting stuff.
It's very clearly a call-to-arms for business leaders against Marxists/communists. Not the working class.
Most Communists, at least in the West, spring from the middle- and upper-middle class, not the working class.
And Communist countries, historically, tend to make their working classes worse off, not better.
Equating a defense against communism with an attack on the working class would seem a stretch.
