You do know what the bourgeoisie archetype/stereotype is, right? A person with a strong enough thirst for wealth that they will disregard all compassions and sensibilities to achieve it?

Saying the officials in the North Korean government using dying soldiers as instruments of material gain doesn't ring bourgeoisie bells is like saying L Ron Hubbard building the world's most elaborate artificial tithing system doesn't ring bourgeoisie bells.
