If you think I'm incorrect I could quote Marx using the word in a context outside of the French Revolution

2019-10-07 18:20:35 UTC  

Go ahead then

2019-10-07 18:20:43 UTC  

My point was about the French Revolution

2019-10-07 18:21:10 UTC  

The facts of which do not in any way support the Marxist conclusion that it was he great bourgeoise Revolution

2019-10-07 18:21:26 UTC  

And is one of several big problems I have with Marx interpretations

2019-10-07 18:21:27 UTC  

"When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organized power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organize itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms, and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class.

In place of the old bourgeois society with its classes and class antagonisms we shall have an association in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all."

That's from the manifesto

2019-10-07 18:22:27 UTC  

and he's not talking about the French Revolution in this passage

2019-10-07 18:22:30 UTC  

Yeah he’s adding the class proletariat, but bourgeoise still includes like, lawyers and doctors

2019-10-07 18:22:39 UTC  

No it doesn't.

2019-10-07 18:22:46 UTC  

?

2019-10-07 18:22:49 UTC  

There's an entirely different word for them within Marxism

2019-10-07 18:22:52 UTC  

...yes it does

2019-10-07 18:22:53 UTC  

Ok

2019-10-07 18:22:54 UTC  

We call them labor aristocrats

2019-10-07 18:23:01 UTC  

Lol ok

2019-10-07 18:23:03 UTC  

They're not the same thing as the bourgeois class

2019-10-07 18:23:10 UTC  

Anyway, I’m gonna get back to work

2019-10-07 18:23:17 UTC  

I highly recommend you listen to mike Duncan

2019-10-07 18:23:25 UTC  

Whats the difference between bourgeois class and labor aristocrats?

2019-10-07 18:23:31 UTC  

You’re smart enough to understand him unlike a lot of the fuckers here

2019-10-07 18:23:35 UTC  

And I think you’d enjoy it

2019-10-07 18:24:34 UTC  

@3v6en8 The bourgeois class uses money to purchase the dead labor of a workers, they then extract surplus value from the value generated by the labor of workers, and they keep that surplus value

2019-10-07 18:24:57 UTC  

A labor aristocrat is just a worker who is disproportionately compensated for their labor

2019-10-07 18:25:13 UTC  

What if a doctor or a lawyer owns a business?

2019-10-07 18:25:19 UTC  

Also known as minor bourgeois

2019-10-07 18:25:24 UTC  

and so their class interest becomes confused and they're more likely to seek the maintenance of capitalism because it provides a high standard of living for them

2019-10-07 18:25:32 UTC  

Then he's petit-bourgeois

2019-10-07 18:25:53 UTC  

petit comme ta bite 😎

2019-10-07 18:25:57 UTC  

Which just means any possessed person who owns a small business, or most exploit their own labor as well as the labor of others to profit

2019-10-07 18:26:03 UTC  

Mademoiselle j'connais le Francais

2019-10-07 18:26:05 UTC  

Im not agreeing with this class interest/class traitor stuff

2019-10-07 18:26:12 UTC  

Football players fit into it

2019-10-07 18:26:15 UTC  

non parle français

2019-10-07 18:26:23 UTC  

ouais pd

2019-10-07 18:27:07 UTC  

Do all business exploit labor?

2019-10-07 18:27:10 UTC  

Yes

2019-10-07 18:27:15 UTC  

They have to in order to make money

2019-10-07 18:27:20 UTC  

especially the majority of businesses

2019-10-07 18:27:23 UTC  

which are small

2019-10-07 18:27:23 UTC
