Word translation

 Hey Guys,

Real quick question a friend asked me...What is the Russian word for bourgeois (the adjective?  and does it decline like normal adjectives.  Also, what is the Russian word for bourgeoisie? (the noun describing the class). 

And real random question, do you know of any links on the web that has the Communist Manifesto in Russian?  I know that's an odd question, but I am a big history dork! lol...and I want to start reading some documents in the Russian language.

Буржуйский. depending on style.

Буржуйский is linked strongly with "originating from capitalist country".
i.e. "Буржуйский язык"

So it is not appropriate translation really.

Frequently, but not necessarily. The word has strong negative connotations, yes. And the use of this is bounded to the very specific style.

Ешь ананасы,
    Рябчиков жуй,
День твой последний
    Приходит, буржуй.
