Ok, I struggle with words, as everyone knows here.
But regarding class conflict in European/Russian history. I struggle with words denoting class and power.
Like "Bolshevism"
"Proletariat"
And "Bourgeoisie"
I do get confused, I have to admit. But please correct me if I am wrong. Aren't these all labels denoting different geographies and classes, as in class warfare?
Couldn't one argue that Autocrat, Plutocrat and Oligarch all simply be different flavors of people with wealth, power and influence?
