I’m clearly of the ruling class, if there is one that isn’t made up of about 12,000 rich white old men.

I think he’s just saying that there are “regular slobs” living in Bushwick, too, not just the edgy, hipstery, artsy, gay, etc. Despite being homosexual, I consider myself to have rather bourgeois ways. Let’s call it “urbane bourgeois.”

how many years away are we from a time when “Bourgewick” actually has relevance? or do I need to spend more time in the Morgan-ville area and less time on working class Knickerbocker?

Marxism applied to today’s world or any world is dated and stupid, I agree, Dresden. Good thing the word “bourgeois” has a meaning and usage independent of such a retarded ideology, so nobody here is guilty of such an infraction.

This was in the New York Post’s Page Six magazine about a month ago, not the NY Times. Perhaps they snagged a copy of the Post in Florida? ‘Tis possible.

Marxism applied to today’s world seems a little dated, no?

I live in the area. We’re starting to call it Bourgewick. See why? I have a beer belly and I don’t dress like Kurt Cobain.

Ah, thanks for the explanation, Dresden. That makes it even more inexcusable.

Any fucker who uses Willwick, Billwick, Buburg, or WesWick around me is getting punched.
