For a middle class. Poor (proletariat) overthrowing rich (bourgeoisie) equals
middle. Then there's the ultra rich, not sure where they fit in. They're
invisible. We don't really have a bourgeoisie. Mostly we have professionals
and managers. But then we don't really have proletariat either. Just lumpen
masses, which is 97% of the population. Pretty level playing field in that
sense.

I would have thought that the proletariat and the bourgeoisie were two
different species. He's hardly advocating a revolution of the middle class—?
