Contradiction?
- 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.
