I have a plan. Bear with me here. Requires only a cursory understanding of basic construction and late 18th century French revolutionary methods.

    I'm a woodworker by trade! Would my skills be of any use in this endeavor?

    A woodworker who actively dislikes the hypocritical and predatory exploitation of lower class people and who is willing to do his part to save us? Are you Jesus?

    The French Revolution was mostly a bourgeois revolution tho.

    There's only two classes. Working and wealthy.

    If you can't afford to live without working, them you're working class. If you could quit your job and maintain a decent lifestyle, you're not working class anymore.

    I get confused. bourgeois = middle class
    proletariat = working class

    What is the name for the rich?

    bourgeois = middle class

    iirc bourgeois is non-aristocratic upper class. But i guess it depends heavily on the context

    You could be right.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourgeoisie

    The bourgeoisie are a class of business owners and merchants which emerged in the Late Middle Ages, originally as a "middle class" between peasantry and aristocracy.

    It is possible that the meaning of "middle class" has changed. So Musk is middle class, but the lawyer or pizza shop owner are not.

    Edit: shit, I should have read farther. Bourgeois is used in multiple ideologies.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism

    The two classes are the proletariat, who make up the majority of the population within society and must sell their labor power to survive, and the bourgeoisie, a small minority that derives profit from employing the working class through private ownership of the means of production.
