        The communist manifesto describes the class struggle between the bourgeoisie (the rich) and the proletariat (working class). Literally the point of communism is to take power away from the bourgeoisie and give it to the proletariat by getting rid of private ownership (capital).

          To add some detail, the bourgeoisie are the “owning class” whose income is generated by rents on the resources they own. There is also the “petit bourgeoisie” who are small business owners who likely work in the business they own but whose primary income derives from their status as business owner.

          Oh, lol. Thanks for the explanation. Weird that he used the terms, but completely missed the point.

    PatriotEagle…

    Why does that username make me feel like that person is an Indian dude sitting in front of a row of cell phones in a shop on the other side of the world?

      It’s a coin toss with these people. Conservatives are idiots and easy to emulate. It’s kind of the whole thing with their voter base, it’s only the easily manipulable.

        Meanwhile you’re attacking the lower class by throwing trash on the ground in “government and mega-corp buildings” like you claimed elsewhere.

        Bravo, shithead.

            I’m a Janitor being paid minimum wage while working for the state, to where I qualify for section 8.

            You being a cunt and giving me shit to do that isn’t in my strict “square footage,” while we’re under-staffed and stretched thin due to the budget constraints passed down from the worthless bastards in this administration, is the fucking opposite of class solidarity.

            Bad enough I only get 3 rags to work with over an entire shift, and that it’s getting harder and harder to keep public spaces safe going into the colder months, but I get children like you eating away at my goddamn sanity because you think you’re proving a fucking point to the overpaid cunts that I protest and rally against.

            Thanks, you fucking retard.

                Yeah, I’ve gotta work on that. Tbh, it’s a little hard to give a shit about a word that I got used to as a child due to adhd and lazy eye, but whatever. Thanks for being honest.

              So leave the trash on the floor and when your bosses ask why, tell them it’s because you’re understaffed. Why are you breaking your back for them?

                Great idea. Then they’ll be fired and replaced and the bosses and owners won’t even be bothered at all, if they’re even aware anything happened.
