At my job, I try and translate to:

• Proletariat = workers
• bourgeois = bosses
• class = working class, although I'll hold my tongue when talking to someone who describes themselves as "middle class"
• means of production = productivity/profits

My coworkers are 's! (so am I, see bullet point three; but I am the one true leftist at my workplace )

That last bullet is tricky, but coworkers understand that they make the profitability boosts and managers crack their whips to boost productivity, while visibly monitoring other workers for slacking or stealing.
