A worker elected in charge of a corporation sits within her office when the door knocks. She calls for the knocker to come within and her ally worker begins to speak. "I have an idea for a position you may be interested in making," the worker in charge remarks on how she is listening, then the intruding worker proceeds to describe a position he had been dreaming of:

'Well this class of people will go to Africa, take them from the land and work them in mines, for cheap wages or death and upon their long skeletons, build up their own personal wealth. These people will go down to Mexico and fund many gangsters so that they can have a hold of their drugs, and gather a revenue from what they made illegal elsewhere to fuel other actions in other parts of the world. In South America these people will kill leaders working for the good of workers and put up oppressive dictators who make pittances compared against the wealth they generate. In Ireland these people will remove the cultural distinction between the Irish and the nearby English, and in the United States these people will avoid taxation, destroy the internal infrastructure and cause ten percent unemployment. For the medical system these people will turn the poor and sick away, denying them insurance or good medical treatment and what one can expect in Europe will be a luxury reserved for the rich. The houses where people have long lived will be lost, utilities and groceries will be hard to afford, and people all over will be tested upon while alive and the dead will not be respected enough to rest in one piece. That is the class that I envision for this corporation.'

The elected worker sits for a long while trying to make heads or tails of the description she just heard. She finally says with a reluctant voice, "What would you call that class?"

The intruder then in an excited flourish exclaims, crazily flailing his hands, "The Bourgeoisie!"
