    “The bourgeoisie are a social class of business owners, merchants and wealthy people, in general, which emerged in the Late Middle Ages, originally as a “middle class” between the peasantry and aristocracy. They are traditionally contrasted with the proletariat by their wealth, political power, and education, as well as their access to and control of cultural, social, and financial capital.” - from Wikipedia

    This is not the Musks, Thiels and Trumps of the world. This is better off, educated people, including the so-called liberal elites, including business owners and traders, including some pretty rich people… but universes apart from the obscene and unimaginable wealth of the real enemy.

    It suits these people very well that most people cannot really fathom the difference between owning one million and one billion and one trillion dollars.
