    Depends on how much distortion is required to get the concept to their level. If the concept doesn’t map to there, then giving them the impression that they understand is misleading them.

    In those case middle class is just fine for petty bourgeoisie. But there’s always a distortion in swapping out terms for similar terms, and that needs to be paid attention to and recognized as a potential source of misunderstanding and trouble.

      Read ‘The Autobiography of Malcolm X.’ Malcolm came from the streets and had been in prison. He could break down complex idea into terms the people could understand. Don’t assume that because someone lacks your vocabulary they are ignorant. Like I siad, it’s on the leader to reach out.
