"The term professional–managerial class (PMC) refers to a social class within capitalism that, by controlling production processes through occupying a superior management position, is neither proletarian nor bourgeois."
"This group of professionals is distinguished from other social classes by their training and education, typically business qualifications and university degrees, with occupations thought to offer influence on society that would otherwise be available only to capital owners."
"The professional–managerial class tends to have incomes above the average for their country, with major exceptions being academia and print journalism." [Who are compensated with power instead.]

when i was reading this, the funny stuff here is that marx actually calls these people as petit bourgeoisie.
not just marx. milovan djilas explains the same phenomenon in his book on the analysis of the communist system: new class
while i typically dismiss that communism is for incels, i do not dismiss the people who coined them, people who actually wrote about it, people who conducted extensive research about it due to the fact that they all wrote it with one thing in their mind.
the betterment of human values in the society. most of their views were actually highly stoic and would have no place among the communist and most leftist folks who glorify and talk about the same.
if those people were alive today, they'd have scoffed and would have cried at the state of how these guys are and wouldn't even be angry that they are called incels.
I'll elaborate more.
if we're talking about the PMC's, it's a proper analogue to modern day journalists and professors who typically lean left in our social system. not wrong. that's typical of them.
anyone expecting otherwise are fools. the prime responsibility of the modern PMC's always seem to be ensuring that the lower class is envious, the upper class scapegoated, and the in-between mentally ill, insecure and hopeless.
this is why you'd see the media talking about useless issues.
the right will just go crazy, why that's happening, see that's happening, see this is worse while the left will write articles supporting the same and stifle any discourse that might happen around the same.
the ones on both ends start hating each other for no reason at all, instead of worrying about the pressing issues that their society should care about.
both of them in the polarizing ends are given things to talk about.
the right is worried that there's an increased amount of wokeness that's super stupid. so they go completely alt right idealizing the tate brothers and every other figure that opposes the popular narrative.
the left is worried that homophobia and other things are in the rise and they should protect minorities and the oppressed.
while these guys are both busy in what they're doing, the actual ones making the best bang out of the buck are the PMC's.
when the tate brothers and the alt right are stupidly crying about escaping the matrix,
The sovereign individual is the one who drops out of the system that you have perpetuated or fear. the system as in the matrix. the sovereign individual controls capital that you can't trace or steal.
so where exactly do these PMCs fit in?
as liberal-bureaucratic society became more complex, modernist ideologies in all democratic countries and institutions proposed experts as the answer to everything.
it's to the point that even judicial evidence believes in expert answers.
this is the new installation of the shadow monarchy.
we basically created a technocratic managerial class to “run the system” and maintain its stability.
often through large, undemocratic institutions. no one knows who gets to be in the experts. they are all handpicked. they are above purview. they are the modern day royalty.
these guys are the McKinseyites, the people in the Big 4. the consult everyone. from big companies to outright governments.
look who consulted during aadhar in our country. look who the TN govt. is hiring to consult on societal policies which they should be sitting and discussing with their ministerial cabinet, their allies and their opposition parties.
the Davos class who come in jets but advice others on climate change, behavioural econ bureaucratic nudgers, and other such diffusers of liberal world system administrators.
the most easily identified are those belonging to professional bodies. These are basically the unions for Lawyers Engineers Accountant and Doctors etc. i am not talking about those who are members of these unions.
the PMCs are the leadership. these bodies usually have offices in political centers and are basically lobbiests and list keepers. corrupt gatekeepers who decide policy for the entire population.
"Hans Magnus Enzensberger had also observed the 'characterless opportunism' of its members, in reference to its constant shifting of allegiances, not only between the leisured and working classes but also among themselves."
"Catherine Liu, in Virtue Hoarders (2021), characterized the PMC as white-collar left liberals afflicted with a superiority complex in relation to ordinary members of the working class."

basically PMCs are the biggest virtue signallers ever.
the biggest problem with left activists in the internet is the fact that they are just trained guard dogs of the PMCs who are commanded what cause to take, which cause to make it as a news that day, which cause to trend, whom to attack.
the only reason why their activism never bears results and only ends up hurting the ones whom they are fighting for.
the previous section basically explains that the ones whom you voted for to rule over you, basically don't do that job.
they outsource that job to the PMCs who are trained rulers. they come in as experts who shape policies to rule.
PMCs are the modern day royals.
for anyone who is an idiot to follow the tate brothers to not know what's the matrix that those guys are blabbering about,
this is a small teaser of what a tiny fraction of what real world looks like.
but sure, have fun biting each other in social media and hating people who don't deserve that hate at all in the first place.
it might make you look like the sigma male you want to be or the champion activist you always wanted to be.
whatever that makes you sleep well at night.
