I know asking for tumblr gringos to read anything but YA is a waste of time so I will copypaste the simplest definition, petite bourgeoisie or petty bourgeoisie are the class between the proletariat and the capitalist class. They are the class of smaller scale merchants and semi-automomous peasants. Hope that helps!

I fucking hate this "capitalism is when you make money, the more money you make, the more capitalism it is" mindset people have gotten. No, an artist selling their own work is not them engaging in capitalism, it's literally a worker owning their own means of production.

Remember capitalism is someone profiting off of someone else's labor though owning capital. It is not simply the act of profiting at all.

#Remarkable comment in the notes #No. If you are going to speak about communism #specifically marxism #then you need to be correct and actually understand what you are espousing. Petit bourgeois is not a moral label #it is a descriptor and many can have as much revolutionary potential as a proletariat does #Because as usual westerners are being silly about class consciousness lol #(Even acknowledging how the imperial core workers benefit from imperialist exploitation is Bad and Conservative)#Very little political education in here #They also pretend the class interest of the Hollywood celebrities is the same as that of a proletariat #Because again they aren't talking a global proletariat
