I don't thinks that's the part that is a problem for them, most people acknowledge the existange of surplus value, it's almost a part of the current common-sense, however the main difference is that pro-bourgeoisie see it as a moral right to exploit. In my opinion, it is the dialectical way of thought of Marx that the reactionary bourgeoisie see as an existential threat.

We need to start calling them the parasite class because they need us we don’t need them
There are many parasitic classes historically, such as the feudal lords, slave owners, patriarchs, landlords, etc. The capitalists are the present dominant parasitic class.
Maybe it should be the Parasite Phylum?
That works!
What? I've never read Marx and it's still really hard to disagree with that. We don't have to gatekeep common sense behind theory.
