    If it hurts central banks, I am all for it.

    You’ll find that our overlords can’t care less what happens to banks. Only lowly people like us depend on banks for our savings and daily payments. The bourgeoisie owns the means of productions and vast areas of land, has private security and the police licking their boots.

    As much as i’m against money, replacing money controlled by the State (eg. anonymous cash) with money controlled by private corporations (eg. far-from-anonymous Bitcoin controlled by Bitmain & friends) doesn’t sound like a great idea.

      In the past they cared enough to create wars over it. If people agreed more on definitions, conversations would be more productive:

      bourgeoisie boo͝r″zhwä-zē′ noun The middle class.

      That tended to mean small to medium sized business owners in the old movies. I am not too worried about them. Conglomerates (BigTech, BigPharma, BigFarm, etc.) scare the hell outta me. These are the overlords and many of their names will never make the official Top 100 Richest People list because they prefer to not be targets or get too much attention.

      Less well off people were sour about the bourgeoisie because they could see them and sometimes had to interact with them. They were jealous. They couldn’t see their real enemy and never knew their names or faces probably. They could never move in those circles.
