[quote=@pugbutter] I mean it in the context of people in the comments section using the word "bourgeoisie" unironically, kek. [/quote] I've seen the word used in non-Marxist economic texts to describe rent-seeking. The major difference is that Marxists don't peel off entrepreneurial capitalism as meaningfully separate from rent seeking. It does recognize that there is a difference, its just that Marxist critique is so cynical about the entire process that the difference is almost seen as moot.
