    Default Are property developers bourgeois?

    So yeah are property developers (Real estate developers to all you yanks) bourgeois, petite-bourgeois or proletarians?

    They are indeed Bourgeois. They purchase the labour-power of workers so as to generate surplus-value.

    That depends, though (bourgeois or petit-bourgeois), on the scale of the business. TomK in OI is most likely PETIT-bourgeois (in spite of his false pride), but a deceased bourgeois in-law of mine was really into property development.

    Now, if TomK were, say, one of the leading owners of a property development corporation (I don't think he is, given his statements on limited liability), THEN I'd be willing to reconsider my assumption as to his class background.
    "A new centrist project does not have to repeat these mistakes. Nobody in this topic is advocating a carbon copy of the Second International (which again was only partly centrist)." (Tjis, class-struggle anarchist)

    "A centrist strategy is based on patience, and building a movement or party or party-movement through deploying various instruments, which I think should include: workplace organising, housing struggles [...] and social services [...] and a range of other activities such as sports and culture. These are recruitment and retention tools that allow for a platform for political education." (Tim Cornelis, left-communist)
