      More importantly, they need to know that they only live as long as people don’t turn against them.

        It’s all French anyway. I prefer to avoid using the academic terms when possible in first place, but there really isn’t a replacement I can use in English

          Bourgeois = owning class

          Proletariat = working class

          If you get income from owning (stocks [dividends, capital gains], landlords [rent]) = owning class

          If you get income from working (hourly wage, salary) = working class

          I think that should work. What do you think?
