https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proletariat#Usage_in_Marxist_theory
The term proletariat is used in Marxist theory to name the social class that does not have ownership of the means of production and whose only means of subsistence is to sell their labour power[9] for a wage or salary.
and then when I say "bourgeoisie," I just mean the opposite of proletariat because in my understanding they are the supposed enemy. I in all my life have never been concerned with who has what or what class I or they are in. I suppose I am to stupid. I only know when I perceive that certain people make me feel like I am less than they are. I don't like that feeling, but I suppose it cannot be helped because I cannot change what other people think of me based upon how much I have or don't have. The only think I can offer is kindness and generosity, but sometimes I offer my absence.
I am not interested in being in a class struggle with anyone. But in the layer behind the onion skin that I peered behind yesterday, what I saw is that certain people use or create that struggle to gain dominance at the expense of both classes who are struggling against one another. I suppose if the 2 fight against each other, the 3rd remains untouched but gains power in the depletion of the power of the 2 that are caused to fight against one another. Like watching a cock fight. One dies, The other may get injured and the owner of the winner gets the prize while all the cock gets is fed to fight another time. Both the winning owner and cock get to "strut."
