Bernie, the BOURGEOIS SOCIALIST
A part of the bourgeoisie is desirous of redressing social grievances, in order to secure the continued existence of bourgeois society.
To this section belong economists, philanthropists, humanitarians, improvers of the condition of the working class, organisers of charity, members of societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, temperance fanatics, hole-and-corner reformers of every imaginable kind. This form of Socialism has, moreover, been worked out into complete systems.
We may site Proudhon’s Philosophie de la Misere as an example of this form.
The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements.

When you’re so bad that even the COMMUNISTS HATE YOU...you know you’re effed up.
Karl would’ve spit on you. Uncle Joe would’ve put one in the back of your head and kicked you into a shallow grave old man.
Uncle Joe preferred using an Ice Axe.
