Class is about relation to the Means of Production, not simple wealth. The US is largely made up of labor aristocracy who benefit from Imperialism, like you pointed out, but aren’t bourgeoisie.

Secondly, putting people to death isn’t the goal, changing property relations is. Adventurism is cool to see, but doesn’t actually change anything.

It’s, again, a relation to production. Capital Owners, ie business owners and whatnot, are bourgeoisie. I suggest reading the first section in my introductory Marxist reading list.

Except others above are literally calling the middle class bourgeoisie.

Maybe you should all start reading, because it’s obvious this community isn’t politically savvy enough to understand the words it throws around.

So business owners must die got you. If I do some freelancing sometimes, should I kill myself? Asking for a friend.
