Bourgeois state

The term "bourgeois state" refers to a government that primarily serves the interests of the capitalist class (the bourgeoisie), which includes business owners and wealthy individuals. In this context, the state's policies and institutions are structured to protect property rights, maintain social order, and facilitate economic growth that benefits the wealthy. The concept often emerges in Marxist theory, where the state is seen as a tool for the bourgeoisie to maintain power and control over the working class and to uphold the existing social and economic hierarchies.
