bourgeoisie vs proletariat

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago (5 children)

I think the framing in the meme is actually more helpful. Marxists would do well to update their language instead of constantly speaking in terms that sound utterly archaic to modern ears.

I would in fact prefer "Owners vs Workers" because "Laborers" still implies specifically forms of physical labour in a way that makes a lot of people feel excluded from the movement we're trying to build.
