Oxford redefines

[–] 4 pts

To play devils advocate: it's not a redefinition, it's an outdated definition. It was true before the industrialization when the burghers or burgeoisie were middle class and the nobles upper class. Industrialization made some of them to filthy rich company owners, but their class as business owners was still the same.

You aren't playing devil's advocate. It's an (((intentionally))) false definition. Bourgeois NEVER EVER EVER meant middle class. EVER. What you're doing here is pushing literal judaism. That jews are correct. That communism is good. That Whites are bad. That work is bad. Just fuck off.

Bourgeois is more of a social class distinction than economic. In the middle ages, there was the gentry and the peasants. Gentry owned all the land and hired artisans make their clothes and furniture by hand. Peasants worked the land and made their own clothes and household items.

With the industrial revolution, there arose industrialists who owed factories to produce the new range of mass produced items such as clothing, furniture, wagons, etc. They were the new bourgeoise who lived in cities and hired peasants to work in their mills and factories. Some amassed great wealth but they were looked down upon by the gentry because they did not have hereditary names or money. Earning money was considered dirty compared to inheriting it.

So the bourgeoise may have been wealthy and lived like royalty but they had a lower social status than the gentry and higher than the peasants and factory workers. It's a matter of semantics whether you call that "middle class" or "merchant class" or "bourgeoise".

puggy's dead on, OP is a sensitive tool.

(in Marxist contexts) the capitalist class who own most of society's wealth and means of production.

That doesn't sound like middle class at all.

We get it. You're here to argue against every single post that might make any point against the government, elite, etc. Just shut the fuck up.

You never show up to reinforce any post or comment. You only show up to shut shit down. Anyone that hasn't realized you're either a glow nigger or a kike is just wilfully ignorant.

Edit: And I'm only downvoting because he has been obvious spam/feds since Voat but he has somehow gotten away with running his mouth and downvoting people with immunity. It's so fucking clear he's controlled opposition. Am I fucking crazy or something?

Because he's just flat wrong. There is no argument. That's okay though. Continue thinking what you will of me. I honestly care not. If I'm so bad beg AOU to ban me. He sees how kikes work day in and day out and if I'm so obviously a kike then what follows should suffice.

But that's insanely unlikely to happen seeing as I provide more for this site, have more people who appreciate me on here and contribute more to the lighter side of things as well to just wipe away due to you thinking you're some hardass.

working class = middle class = working class = middle class

That's in agreement EVERYWHERE in EVERY system that exists. proletariat = NOT bourgeois

Yet jewgle forgot something; https://pic8.co/sh/1DKuQc.png

workers or working-class people, regarded collectively (often used with reference to Marxism).

So proletariat are not bourgeois and vice versa but both are middle class? You're stupid. You are angry at me for some unknown reason. I've probably called you out for talking like a nigger, a kike, or both and you wept and wept and wept over it.

e; This is near identical to 'arguments' I've had over the (((dictionary))) and other various media changing the definition of vaccine etc. to include mRNA bio-weapon shots. I've had the argument here about that very issue with some kike. Perhaps it's you and you're feeling nostalgic?

The term you are looking for is bourgeoisie, not bourgeois.

Marx used bourgeoisie to describe the capitalist class. "Bourgeois" is a term that describes a class of people pursuing hedonism and/or materialism.

The bourgeoisie are not homogeneous. There is the haute bourgeoisie vs. the petite bourgeoisie.

Marx was quite specific on what he meant by bourgeoisie and they were truly the middle class: the go-betweeners between the nobility and monarchs and the peasants. Bankers, business owners in towns and cities, etc. The true owners of the means of production.

As if they needed to find another way to convince the dumbass commies to kill what is left of the middle class

Bourgeois means those people that think more of themselves than what they're actually worth. They make are very educated and make good money but pretend like they are super rich or intellectual. They overspend on luxury shit just to keep up the pretense.

no, thats just a yuppie.

bourgoisie commiespeak for middle class. commies dont give a fuck how that middle class person thinks of themselves, they just wish they had the ability to be employable.

Makes sense. All the immigrants rise up against white Americans to destroy and implement their communist NWO

[–] 0 pt

I'm pretty sure it has always been that. The current bourgeois == super wealthy is a modern colloquialism.

It's always meant affluent as far as I've ever known, but commies do hate the middle class, so there's always that. Either way these faggots like to control speech in every way, including flipping definitions around to suit whatever kike works they have going on at any time.

No, it meant that a long time ago. Communists hate the middle class. Western communists are just plain retarded.

[–] 0 pt

Why the distinction? A communist is a communist. Unless you mean to refer to jews, then just say jews. The "Western communists" you refer are all children of super wealthy elite.

nnnnnnnnnno..... thats what was originally meant by bourgoisie.
