The bourgeoisie had a true insight into the fact that all the weapons it had forged against feudalism turned their points against itself, that all the means of education it had produced rebelled against its own civilization, that all the gods it had created had fallen away from it. It understood that all the so-called bourgeois liberties and organs of progress attacked and menaced its class rule at its social foundation and its political summit simultaneously, and had therefore become “socialistic.”

Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte, 1852

Everytime I go on that CVG swap facebook page....but I'm too classy for that. People who are close to me, know my true character. I can't pretend to like you. I will be cordial to you, and that is as far as I'll go. #pinkyup #bougeoise #hugsvswaves (at Salt Lake City, Utah)

“They had grown accustomed to put in [my] room things there was no space for elsewhere, and there were now a lot of such things, because they had rented one room in the apartment to three lodgers.  These serious gentlemen-all three had full beards, as [I] once ascertained through a crack in the door- were stickers for strict housekeeping, not only in their room, but also, since they were after all paying rent there, all over the apartment, and especially in the kitchen...”(43).

These new renters are jerks to my family, forcing them to act as though nothing is wrong but their distraction from my current situation may actually allow me to eavesdrop on them more and maybe even regain my humanity.
