Just say ruling class or owner class. It's easier for you to spell and easier for the average reader to understand (and accept, if they've been subjected to anti-communist propaganda).

(grimace sits in a deck chair on a boat in the frankly nightmarish klasky csupo ronald mcdonald adventures cartoon in which the mcdonaldland residents become kinky pirates, that itself aired in a tv show that viciously ripped off its entire concept and format from Peewee's Playhouse during the time in which Paul Reubens himself was being ostracized from public life for being a gay man. they even got mark mothersbaugh, who did the music both for Rugrats and the playhouse itself, to write the score. (satire becomes reality, spud boy?) anyway i edited the screenshot so grimace is confidently saying "burgwer Z" while captain ronald mcjack fucking sparrow and his talking dog who looks and sounds like The Gromble from aaahh real monsters look on in horror.) :::

Americans pronouncing crossaint (kho-sant) : kwa-son!
Americans pronouncing bourgeoisie (bor djwa zee) : burgerzee
B-our-geo-is-ie.... I spell it out as if it's a phrase. A nonsensical, incomprehensible phrase but it works 🤷🏾♂️
Haves and not haves
Workers vs owners
Trust fund babies
Billionaires
Wealth hoarders
Today’s language actually has lots of options
The borgys...
Don't at me, you know I'm right. We need to defrenchify to reenrichify the Inglish languadj... goddang it.
In France, we litteraly learn to spell it in first grade. We still have the bourgeoisie though...
French spelling needs to go on a diet and shed some superfluous letters. We have a city pronounced the same as Bordeaux here in Norway: https://maps.app.goo.gl/vt11qRzt3wvzbhar6

Is this where 'bougie' came from?
Because most people can't spell the OG version?
I just go for the term of my forefathers "rich profligate sonsovbitches" I may talk like a hick but I am learned, though I also refuse to speak French if I can help it, whole damned language feels like Latin with a concussion and several problems.
This is why “bougie” exists.
"bougie" (pronounced the same) can also refer to a slender blue plastic rod ever so slightly crooked at the end, used to aid in placement of an endotracheal tube. you use the crooked tip to feel the ribbing of the trachea, then insert the ET tube around the bougie. not ideal to use without also using a laryngoscope but one of several methods of confirmation, since ventilation into the wrong organ can have disastrous consequences
I have automated my spelling of bourgeoisie, as the immortal science of Marxism says we must. And totally not because I'm lazy.
The cheat code for this is being a native french speaker. Can't pronounce "squirrel" though, si it's not a perfect solution
Mon Français est merde.
"Hey, Uwe, how the shwarzschwanz to you spell 'boodgy'?!"
-- Karl Marx, probably
I before E, except at the start of bourgeoisie, but after O, not like IOU, such as when capitalists promise you earnings from their profit too.
Singular "porvari", plural "porvarit", social class "porvaristo". Finnish is easy!
