Even in Marx's time, there was stock speculation, he even won money on the stock market on occasion. The Bourgeoisie are owners of Capital, this includes large financial and stock Capital as well. The subsection of the bourgeoisie that faces proletarianization is the Petite Bourgeoisie.
You'd do well to read Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism.
The problem is that revolution is necessary, and simply hoping things get better isn't acceptable. Agitprop needs a practical message as well.
You're using class terminology in a way that doesn't conform to any leftist current and this deliberately confuses the conversation. Furthermore, the bourgeoisie are the class that owns Blackrock, Vanguard, etc. You are using Petite Bourgeoisie to refer to Bourgeoisie.
I really don't think you're fine if you're flying off the handle on random internet users accusing them of being paid by the CPC just for being Marxists. I think you should probably take a step back from the keyboard for a while.
It's funny that you preface your civility on me immediately licking your boot before we can discuss anything. Any such conversation would be worthless to begin with if you can't come at it on polite terms from the start.
Furthermore, this conversation was never about China to begin with, the idea that I was going to pivot to exalting China is just conspiracy theory material.
I really don't know what's prompting you to go ballistic like this, you might want to log off for a bit.
Corruption is taken very seriously in AES states, and is lessened by regulating wages of officials to those of skilled workers. There will always be corruption regardless of society, but Socialism gives more mechanisms to keep that in check than Anarchism.
What's wrong with Marxism?
"I have, which will surprise you not a little, been speculating — partly in American funds, but more especially in English stocks, which are springing up like mushrooms this year (in furtherance of every imaginable and unimaginable joint stock enterprise), are forced up to quite an unreasonable level and then, for the most part, collapse. In this way, I have made over £400 and, now that the complexity of the political situation affords greater scope, I shall begin all over again. It’s a type of operation that makes demands on one’s time, and it’s worth while running some risk in order to relieve the enemy of his money."
-Karl Marx, 1864.
This isn't about the RTS, but about stock ownership.
