    I’ve learned that using the term “bourgeois” just confuses half of liberals and convinces the other half that you must be a tankie - I just call it liberal democracy and they get it (it does send them into reactionary fits, though).

      That just exposes them as being politically illiterate reactionaries and staunch defenders of capital

      Those who are open-minded will interact in good faith and ask for clarification (the thread of my overarching comment might be an example)
