Right my point is they're changing who the bourgeoisie is. It's a slight of hand thing. They're manipulating Marxism so that the people they dislike are removed from society and they remain. It's infighting and purging of undesirables.

Yes. I have dedicated 8 years to it and written several essays. Did I link any of them?
