Answer 2

The bourgeoisie are in Marxist terms the middle classes. They are the faction within society that do not directly produce, but exercise control over the process of production and benefit as a result...In modern terms...middle to upper management. They are in turn, the servants of the upper classes or aristocracy.

Marx argued that in any successful revolution, elements of the bourgeoisie would need to defect to the working class for the revolution to be successful.

Bourgeoisie (RP [ˌbɔː.ʒwɑːˈzi], GA [ˌbu.ʒwɑˈzi]) refers to a group of people whose social and political opinions are determined primarily by concern for property values and personal appearance of wealth. The term is used in reference to the class of people ranked below the nobility whose status or power comes from employment, education, and wealth as opposed to aristocratic origin. In a capitalist society the term often refers to the owning and ruling classes. The term is widely used in many non-English countries as an approximate equivalent of middle class, but in English speaking countries usage is largely confined to those with socialist opinions, and it has strong pejorative connotations. It is almost unknown for people in the English speaking world to self-identify as members of the bourgeoisie, while many self-identify as middle class.
