A person who opposes or is against the interests or values of the middle-class merchant class (burghers).
From anti- (against) + burgher, from Middle Dutch burgher and Old High German burg (town). Burgher originally referred to a citizen or merchant of a medieval town, so antiburgher is someone opposed to bourgeois values.
During the rise of capitalism, 'antiburgher' movements were tied to revolutionary ideologies that rejected middle-class materialism—it's a word that captured real class tensions that shaped modern history.
