Comrades! Comrades! In your understandable zeal to reject bourgeois stereotypes in your version of the joke, you are all forgetting one impoprtant thing. A joke like this is intended to raise a laugh at the expense of the people portrayed in it, and we should not be laughing at members of the working class. Instead, let me work it this way:
Three capitalists, idling in their club after exploiting the masses, and indulging in luxuries bought with their unearned incomes from surplus value created by the toil of the working class …
Not unless one of them makes the others the butt of the joke… Two capitalists idly left their club after exploiting the masses, and indulging in luxuries bought with their unearned incomes from surplus value created by the toil of the working class, where they met a proletarian heroe/heroine as he/she was leaving the factory, thinking about the best way to enhance his/her labor in tractor production in order to serve the nation by increasing grain harvests…
