To be technical, and to borrow a bit. Proletariat[1] are the working class, they work for the Bourgeoisie[2], the people who own the means of productions. That's why I asked why you used demote. Lower, Middle and Upper are strata or ranks within classes. Within the bourgeoisie, you can distinguish:
Petite bourgeoisie: small business owners, shopkeepers
Haute bourgeoisie: industrialists, financiers
Managerial class (in some frameworks): high-paid non owners who control labor
Within the proletariat, you can distinguish:
Lumpenproletariat[3]: unemployed, precarious
Skilled laborers vs unskilled laborers
Labor aristocracy: better-paid, sometimes ideologically closer to capital

- neom 1y agoClass != Job Title Managerial Class != Bourgeoisie This was a loose usage of the term “bourgeoisie”, meant in the sociological rather than economic sense. Sorry. In late capitalism, the PMC (Professional Managerial Class) occupies a weird liminal space: Economically they're proletariat Socially/culturally they're aligned with bourgeois values Politically they often acts in defense of capital (because of career dependency) Hence: managerial class != bourgeoisie, even if they act like them or aspire to be them.
