this cartoon implies that liberal and progressive citizens are equally responsible for the lack of attention to the owner class, when they’re the only ones criticizing and trying to rein in the 1% while at the same time trying to defend against incessant attacks on pretty much every part of their identity from the bleating moron maga lemmings
Drag owns a toothbrush. Drag isn’t a member of the owning class, but drag is in the most literal sense an “owner”. Drag recognises you’re using a technical definition of a common term, but drag doesn’t think liberals will understand. They’ll see your language as convoluted.

Choose only one. Liberals are those that subscribe to capitalism. You cannot be against the bourgeois while being for capitalism. It is contradictory.
You cannot ever get folks on our side using words like ‘bourgeois’.
How about “owning class”?
It’s a good start, but I’d go with ‘owners’ and occasionally stress, ‘all owners.’
People respect plain speaking, and suspect convoluted speaking. If we want to win folks over, plain speaking is the way.
