Where did I express any distaste for actually descriptive terms like "bourgeoisie"? Only on the Internet is purposefully misconstruing someone's statement seen as a valid method of communication.
- dragonwriter 3y ago> Where did I express any distaste for actually descriptive terms like “bourgeoisie”? Who do you think the elite in a capitalist society are? “Elite” is accurate and descriptive, and more common in casual conversation, than, e.g., “haut bourgeoisie”. (And “bourgeoisie” alone is different, as it includes the petit bourgeoisie, who are both less of an elite, though still one compared to the proletariat, and much less significant in terms of the thing being discussed, control of commercial real-estate.)
