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.

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

No, I literally stated that the goal isn’t to kill people, but collectivize property. If your only way of dealing with alternative viewpoints is to lie about them, then you should reconsider your own viewpoints.

My comment was going back to the original question: if it’s ok to kill this CEO, who decided who else it’s ok to kill.

My problem is that, while I fully agree that capitalism is the principal cause of injustice in the modern world, taking justice into one’s own hands through violence will only lead to more violence. The day citizens as a whole are ready for a real social revolution, I might re-evaluate my position on violence, but the majority of US voters have just elected, again, Epstein’s closest friend as president so I doubt that what they want is a way out of capitalism.

It seems that you are intentionally missing the point. If you are selling your own labor, you my friend are working class.

You guys are all really smart and interesting, seriously, but I’m still not convince one can just decide to kill a CEO because he considers them to be part of the bourgeoisie. My original question, is who gets to decided where to draw the line.

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.

One other person in this post said that, therefore everyone in the post is stupid, except for slartibartfast.
