I had to look this up and I am glad I did... https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Bourgeoisie
"History has confirmed the prognosis of Marx regarding the inevitability of the degeneration and downfall of bourgeois civilization under the weight of the crimes it has committed. This follows from the economic essence of capitalism, the fundamental law of which is the production of surplus value. Marx pointed out that there is no crime capital would not commit in order to increase its profits. The most complete and villainous manifestation of the criminal nature of bourgeois rule was embodied in fascism and the system it created of the mass extermination of people, based on genocide and a revival of slavery. The most reactionary strata of monopoly capital urge the use of fascist methods. Through the creation of so-called military-industrial complexes, they strive for total militarization and the suppression of all democratic liberties. The maniacs of militarism threaten humanity with annihilation through rocket and nuclear war."
Instead of sins of the fathers, we have crimes of the politicians - taking the US off the Gold Standard and all the resulting political military acting to protect the Petrodollar... Trump is making one last push to save the dollar as the worlds reserve currency though it looks like the opposite in the short run...some feel the decline of the US dollar will leads to physical war if the trade wars do not turn out as hoped...
