Lennon ment sarcastically. Like the only aim to the working class individual is to become a succesfull hero in capitalism`s vanguard. Working class hero i think is the man who has filled all the 'american dream' tasks - a career, house, big car, and some capital.
The western society is permanently fucking your brain with this same old mantra - 'working class hero is something to be'. Youe are always reminded, that only respectable choise is to become a 'working class hero'
And i dont think that this is some kind of anthem for working class, it is more like that Lennon in this song is not very kind towards working class..
It's definitely an anthem for those who belong to the working class and see the world for what it is. However, this song also serves as a wake-up call for those who "remain willfully ignorant of the big, red, white, and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes everyday," as George Carlin so gracefully put it.

bollocks he's criticising "democracy" and saying if you are not born with the status and cash, everything is set against you for you to fail. Basically prejudgements about a group in society; bit like Scouse jokes about them robbing shit e.g. "what do you call a trustworthy scouser?" "armless"
