My problem with the term bourgeoisie is that most people mistake it to mean the upper middle class, but in fact the upper middle class is just as much working class as anyone else.
The upper middle class doesn’t have generational wealth or resources (because if it does, its not upper middle, it’s just ruling class), and needs a job or career or skill to get resources, otherwise its members go into debt, and become homeless and/or die.
So I think breaking the classes into working vs middle vs upper middle is needless division and unnecessary. It just breaks solidarity between the people who are subjugated by the ruling class.
or as I prefer to say : living under the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie
