    You know exactly what I mean. Rich people have always lorded it over the peasants we’ve just invented different terms for basically the same concept. There will always be people who figure out a way to have more than their neighbours. You can see it even in video games like world of Warcraft. It’s easier to get more if you have more and always will be.

    As for your other comments I’d rather deal with he present circumstances of the world rather than science fiction scenarios.

      Yes I know what you mean now, I didn’t know what you meant when you fabricated your own definition and didn’t inform me of your special definition that nobody else uses.

      In the future, when talking to people, it’s best to either use widely accepted definitions or make it clear that you’re using your own for god-knows what reason.

      By the actual definition of bourgeoise, which is what I was talking about, I’m obviously correct. If we adopt your definition where you’re just using it as a synonym for “ruler”, I won’t claim to know the future. Maybe AI will be a benevolent dictator, or maybe we’ll have a proper dictatorship of the proletariat, or maybe we’ll have a proper free society. Who knows. But capitalist realism is still an absurd and stupid position considering it’s only been a thing for 200 years (unless you’re also redefining capitalism in your world where you just make up your own definitions of everything).
