    I think the poem scans better if you use the adjective “bourgeois” (two syllables) instead of the collective noun “bourgeoisie” (three).

      Thanks for that. Although I totally don’t want to make this into a sticker and paste it around the town.

    My uncle used to be an editor of a small town newspaper back in the 70’s. As kids visiting, he would make us little metal pieces with our names printed backwards, We’d press them in an ink pad and our names would appear correctly when pressed onto a piece of paper. Those little metal pieces he produced for the local news were all backwards as well and placed in a specific way so the printing press would produce the newspaper. I always thought placing those metal pieces in the correct order to produce a newspaper was typesetting.

    Ешь ананасы, рябчиков жуй,

    День твой последний приходит

    Буржуй!

    The bourgeois are not the enemy – it’s the hyper capitalists that set the working classes against the middle classes while draining all value and wealth out of society.

      Yes, the bourgeois. Bourgeois means business owners or people who own capital.

      Not sure exactly what you’re meaning by “middle class”, but I’m guessing it’s white collar workers (people who’s job is telling other people what to do) and/or “petite bourgeois” (aka small business owners like small tradie businesses or mum and pop shops).
