The best-funded media have sold the message that college students and politically-active aunties who have seen one too many local children die are the elites. The 'elite' label can be stuck on anyone who exerts influence, it implies power pejoratively but not descriptively. That's why revolutionaries use more precise terms like capital owner instead.
