Not wanting to stomp on your threads, but the material relations you're discussing are why "class consciousness" is a dangerous myth of colonial power.

Underpinning this trope of control is the humanist ideal, a notion of the human that always somehow quietly excludes even as it loudly asserts its own universality.

For a society purposefully divided so that those that have basic needs met depend on the dispossession of others to maintain their privilege, the myth that we're all of the same abstract "class", somehow capable of its own diaphenomenal consciousness, allows those disparities of dispossession to be elided in the name of upholding "class" interests.
