So yeah, borgerlig means “bourgeois” but it also means “right-wing” or more broadly just “not socialist”. And so I’ve had to hear right-wing dipshits say this election stuff like
- Vote bourgeois! (this message paid for by Some Guy With a German Last Name Joint Stock Company)
- Do you want a bourgeois victory in this election? Then you better vote for these parties!
- I could never in my life vote for the Reds, I’ll be voting bourgeois this election. Here’s to a bourgeois victory!
- Et cetera
And this is just seen as completely normal. It boggles the mind how this terminology practically rubs your face in how right-wing politics only benefit the ruling class, and yet people still end up supporting it somehow?!
“The good kind of socialism” is when you supply the imperial stormtroopers of larger powers instead of sending your own, bribe enough workers to make the working class complacent, hate non-white people and don’t do any socialism at all.
