The point is that a real capitalist should have capital.

Consider someone works to live, but puts excess cash into various mutual funds that invest in companies on their behalf. Things like their car, electronics, and stock are all capital.

I had to verify with Google to make sure I wasn't going crazy, but it seems like that person would be both a worker and a capitalist
