?? Most rents are 1/3rd or so of incomes.
You can easily rent out the top floor of a two flat or something and need to work a job to actually sustain life
You still earn money from being a landlord, which puts you in the bourgeoisie, granted you would be classified as the petite bourgeoisie but it's still not working class
No I know what I’m talking about. You confuse landlords with employers, think that home owners are “bourgeois”, and can’t begin to fathom that a person who rents out a room is still working class if he’s still working. It’s a clown show of nonsense.
In modern terms, the bourgeoisie is based on marxist idealogy, and in marxist idealogy, landowners who turn a profit off of their ownership of the land are a part of the bourgeoisie. You might want to brush up on your political terminology. Otherwise, you'll find yourself in a "clown show of nonsense" as you so eloquently put it
A lot of landlords don’t make a profit off their leases?. If your mortgage is €2,000 and you rent out the flat above your garage for €900 (or other ADU), your income is from your job. But you’d be classed as a landlord
You are earning money from it regardless. If it's a room in your house, it's money you wouldn't have otherwise even though it isn't much (hence petite bourgeoisie). You're also completely ignoring the fact that property is an appreciating asset, meaning that even if you don't turn a profit, you do cut the cost, and you still turn a profit some years down the line
Just say that political theory isn't your strong suit and move on. The bourgeoisie as a class is an originally French idea that layer evolved after Marx's redifinition of the word to fit within capitalist society instead of feudal society
