Honestly, I have my politics, but I’m not enthusiastic to argue a lot for it

    Ultra rich wealth/land hoarders/exploiters

    upper mid-level wealth/land hoarders,

    Depends, there’s many in history that can fit the bill (eg. feudal lords (crop rent), industrial capitalists (factory profit), slaveowners (goods and free labor profit), and aristocracy of finance and land (money interest and land rent) )

    Their immediate managers, facilitators

    Professional managerial class, or compradors for the main dominant capitalist group (eg. the West) / hegemonic capitalist group

    Average workers & Average people who are dissatisfied?

    Proletariat and lumpenprole?

    Let’s see here

    Bourgeoisie:

    includes grande (big) and moyenne (medium) bourgeoisie, but essentially they are medium (regional/national) and large (global) capitalists, that mainly rely on industrial profit, if not landed rend, and financial interest, based around growing industrial and financial production

    Though I consider bourgeoisie in its western context, to specifically refer to the first modern form in Europe, birthed from the Medieval period

    Bourg-eois --> Bourg derives from the medieval German term for “city”, as they derived from the growing cities of their era

    Petty-bourgeoisie:

    a small business owner (only a handful of businesses directly owned by them)

    Proletariat:

    wage/salaried laborers who depend heavily on their wage/salary, lest a few days/weeks leave em destitute and homeless

    They are historically converted from the destruction of peasants, yeomanry, guild craftsmen, apprentices and mentors, during the progressive bourgeois revolution against feudalism.

    Originally, in Rome, such term was derived from those citizens who made offspring to serve the Roman slave mode of production

    Lumpenproletariat

    despite its name, it is a similarly newly-created class of capitalism, more destitute and ruined than the proletariat, defined by a lack of official joblessness and stability, which include people from the simply unemployed and unhoused to criminals, strike-breakers, prostitutes, and gangsters

    They are a wild card that can ally with either bourgeois or proletariat forces

    Lumpen (rabble) + proletariat

    If there’s one moderate critique, it doesn’t say much when it comes to political bias ratings, which are often U.Sian centric

    Like here are the 3 axes of politics to me

    Economic Policy (Base)

    {Domestic} Culture and Government Structure Policy (Superstructure)

    Foreign Policy (Western or Eastern Alignment

    But I can’t understand anything when it merely comes to left and right, like in what way are they leftist or rightist, are they economically socialist/capitalist and anti-western/pro-western in foreign policy in such way too, or merely when it comes to culture and gov’t policy?
