Is this where ‘bougie’ came from?
Because most people can’t spell the OG version?
Singular “porvari”, plural “porvarit”, social class “porvaristo”. Finnish is easy!
It’s french, you’re encouraged to not know how to spell it.

I before E, except at the start of bourgeoisie, but after O, not like IOU, such as when capitalists promise you earnings from their profit too.
Just say ruling class or owner class. It’s easier for you to spell and easier for the average reader to understand (and accept, if they’ve been subjected to anti-communist propaganda).
I hate “ruling class”. It feels defeatist. Like yeah, they are the rulers what can ya do about it?
They are the current rulers. Rulers can be overthrown. And I think that framing it that way gives people an accurate idea of what will be required.
We gotta bring back the term “robber barons.”
“Corpos”.
Or, to use William Gibson’s more current vernacular:
“Klepts”.
EDIT:
Yep. The main reason to use bourgeoisie would be to seem smart or in discussion about materials that use it or you’re French. Outside that, common native language translations are always more effective.
‘Filthy parasites’ also works.
“Corpo Scum.”
Careful there, might attract more extremist xenophobes there, same vocabulary and all…
Which is why I prefer rich assholes, billionaire idiots or people who rather prefer to destroy earth then share it.
I’m okay with making them suffer that cognitive dissonance.
vampires
Except vampires at least drink the blood they steal
hey take it up with Karl Marx, i’m not who came up with the metaphor
Or “capitalist owners” more precisely.
Haves and not haves
Workers vs owners
Trust fund babies
Billionaires
Wealth hoarders
Today’s language actually has lots of options
- dragons
- fuckheads
- shitheels
- oligarchs
- problems
Guillotine lubricant
I just go for the term of my forefathers “rich profligate sonsovbitches” I may talk like a hick but I am learned, though I also refuse to speak French if I can help it, whole damned language feels like Latin with a concussion and several problems.
It’s pretty bougie to know how to spell bourgeoisie, ngl.

(grimace sits in a deck chair on a boat in the frankly nightmarish klasky csupo ronald mcdonald adventures cartoon in which the mcdonaldland residents become kinky pirates, that itself aired in a tv show that viciously ripped off its entire concept and format from Peewee’s Playhouse during the time in which Paul Reubens himself was being ostracized from public life for being a gay man. they even got mark mothersbaugh, who did the music both for Rugrats and the playhouse itself, to write the score. (satire becomes reality, spud boy?) anyway i edited the screenshot so grimace is confidently saying “burgwer Z” while captain ronald mcjack fucking sparrow and his talking dog who looks and sounds like The Gromble from aaahh real monsters look on in horror.) :::

B-our-geo-is-ie… I spell it out as if it’s a phrase. A nonsensical, incomprehensible phrase but it works 🤷🏾♂️
This is how I learned to remember to spell “together” as a small child. To-get-her. Shit works lol
Together? I hardly know her.
