Sinister: LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT

[G R Thomas]

OK, before I even start. That's 3 incorrect entries already, and as for 
the latest one, obviously didn't read the book well enough. THE 
BOURGOISIE IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT!!! THE MIDDLE CLASS. THE BOURGOISIE IS 
THE UPPER, RULING OR OWNING CLASS. IN MARXIST 
POLITICS/ECONOMICCS/SOCIOLOGY, THERE ARE 2(TWO) CLASSES-THE PROLETARIAT 
(THE WORKERS) AND THE BOURGOISIE-(THE OWNERS OF THE 
COMPANIES/INDUSTRIES THAT THE PROLETARIAT WORK IN), AND NO, I REPEAT NO 
MIDDLE CLASS. THE BOURGOISIE ARE NOT THE MIDDLE CLASS, THEY ARE THE 
OWNING OR UPPER CLASS. 

OK. In a related aside, I looked up 'pastie' in a French/English 
dictionary yesterday and the closest i could find was 'pastis' meaning 
'aniseed aperitif' but also 'muddle, confusion or fix'.
Close, maybe...

Anyway, I'll come back soon with a nice message to properly introduce 
myself, but for the moment I was stirred into action by a few people 
getting a few important details essentially wrong.


Cheers, 

love,
