It won't actually help them, living in a bunker is a miserable experience and they still require people to run the bunkers for them. Capitalists seek accumulation, bunkers are a fallback for them.

    Also bunkers need vents and vents don't work well when a bag of concrete is poured down into them.

    I can totally imagine some pathetic lumpen being paid a pitiful amount to stay outside in the nuclear fallout guarding the air openings so no one does that

    agreed and they likely see it as a miserable failback as well, but what matters to them is that they have a failback so that they feel like they can be bolder than the rest of us who have any tailbacks.

    their pursuit is accumulation

    i've always understood this to be a trend instead of a rule of the ruling class and i suspect some cabals of the ruling class care more about pushing for absolute dominance more than anything else.

    Classes are aggregates, not totalities. There can be people in a class that act irrationally, but the class as a whole moves in its own percieved interest.
