i always considered the bourgeoisie to be the middle class (not the working
class). you know -- the people who have relatively comfortable living and
lots of blue glass and stuff.
(i've always thought blue glass to be super-bourgie).
like, the very people the working class is against. for example --
communism is supposed to be for the working class, against the bourgeoisie.
