    Bourgeois is the characteristic of the middle class.

    Bourgeoisie is the middle class itself.

    The Aristocracy is the class that controls most governments.

        During the time of Marx, the bourgeoisie was keeping the proletariat down.

        Now, the bourgeoisie has become smaller and less influential.

        Our oppressors are the aristocrats.

          More like plutocrats. Aristocrats would be the nobel left after the fall of monarchies. Plutocrats are the rich corporate elite.

          Or just go with the umbrella term: Oligarchs.

            Fair. We still agree that our enemy is not the bourgeoisie. They’re becoming more of the proletariat every year.
