Class != Job Title

Managerial Class != Bourgeoisie

This was a loose usage of the term “bourgeoisie”, meant in the sociological rather than economic sense. Sorry.

In late capitalism, the PMC (Professional Managerial Class) occupies a weird liminal space:

Economically they're proletariat

Socially/culturally they're aligned with bourgeois values

Politically they often acts in defense of capital (because of career dependency)

Hence: managerial class != bourgeoisie, even if they act like them or aspire to be them.
