The premise of a bourgeoisie class that does not merit benefits that the proletariat lack, thus being victims of injustice, essentially began with the devil.

Who exampled the first “occupy movement” in asserting that he would sit in the throne of God, (Isaiah 14:13,14) inferring that God was not uniquely worthy of this position, but that Lucifer, a created being who owed all that he had to his wise and gracious creator, was.

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isaiah 14:13-14)

And when that did not work out as presumed (he that exalts himself shall be abased), he next worked on seducing Eve with the victim-entitlement mentality, i.e. that Eve was the victim of injustice by God since He kept her back from what was rightfully hers:

Meaning that He lied about the consequences of disobedience for instead of dying then this was said to be the means of obtaining Divinity, which God was implicitly charged with unjustly keeping to Himself. And that therefore Eve was justified in disobeying God in order to obtain what was sppsdly justly hers. .

Which ploy was the means of the devil to obtain power, to boast before God of obtaining allegiance, while impoverishing Adam and Eve (Adam was most accountable since he was not deceived but simply yielded to his wife’s inducement). (Genesis 3)

Likewise, while actual injustices do sadly exist in the world since Adam and Eve, the devil yet works to obtain glory thru proxy servants that employ the same strategy. As in Communism, whereby real (and often exaggerated) or perceived injustices (such as regards material goods, power, freedom) by the bourgeoisie that possess them are focused upon in order to foster envy among the proletariat. And which benefits the Communist leader promises to obtain for them once in power.

However, while the principle of fairness and justice and working for the same is valid, the motive of the Communist leader is one of selfish lust for power, and who fosters class warfare (with its lies, miscontruances and exaggerations) to obtain it.

And having done so, then (depending on how strongly and comprehensive the ethos is applied) the ruling class that opposes classes ends up being the ones enjoying the power, wealth and freedom promised to them if the Communist saviors were given power, upon which the proletariat are made progressively dependent upon and with increasing degrees of allegiance.

And of course, the party of the Left also employs the victim-entitlement mentality in order to sell themselves as saviors of the oppressed and thus obtain power and control. And use a form of nationalism to do so, that of enemies not being non-Arians, but of a politically incorrect color (though incorrect ideology will relegate one to being one of the latter, while the accusers who are of politically incorrect color are treated as if trapped in the wrong flesh).

For the devil will continue to seek power, glory and allegiance, and pervert all that God has ordained, in a war which the devil cannot ultimately win. (Revelation 19,20) Thanks and glory be to God.

And as regards what the devil lusted for, beyond the gift itself of eternal life via effectual faith being counted for righteousness, God rewards the obedience of justifying faith with position (but not being God by nature, as Christ is):

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (Revelation 3:21-22)
