I think he means the correction of a system with wealth inequality that leads to the people we love most suffering through no fault of their own. We can see the backsliding of quality of life for people who's output has been unchanging for decades. Many of us have friends and family who live "back home" and are not software engineers with healthy budgets. Many of us are married to or are related to people who come from different socio-economic, ethnic or racial backgrounds which have given us the uncommon knowledge (to privileged society) of what it is like to be stuck in a class of perpetually losing.
What do you mean by this analogy?
