Yep. "Bourgeois" means middle class and always has. That's who they hate, not the elites.

I really don't get it, but one can hardly expect a failed ideology to make sense.

Everyone wants to be elite

No one aspires to be middle class

These communists want to be the vanguard party, the nomenklatura, the new elite, or join the current rich jewish elite.

It's crazy though. Middle class, i.e. a comfortable but not lavish life, is what these poor "workers" should aspire too. Because that's a realistic goal, it's not like these are peasant farmers for the most part.

I do disagree there. Aspiring to be rich is a good thing and a big part of capitalism. The rich do not want upward mobility though.
