Tfw a bitch like JWB is describing the petty bourgeoisie small business ownership of someone who has the same class interests as a wealthy business owner and a supposed socialist is trying to describe them as working class.
Like yeah a petty bourgeoisie business owner can seem like the working class but at the end of the day they side with capital. This is known. |

I'm sorry but you simply missed my point. My entire point was that the owner/ worker distinction isn't sufficient to tell us everything about class. It's one metric among many that correlate to higher status and wealth but are not synonymous with said status/ wealth.
The entire point was a business owner/ capitalist can actually be lower on the class totem pole than a successful worker from another industry. As far as the political class interests of all business owners coinciding... that's probably not always true either. I'm sure the are things that could be lobbied for which specifically help giant corporations at the expense of small businesses or vice-versa. In that case their interests would actually be diametrically opposed. |

Upper/middle/lower class is not a socialist concept. Bourgeois/proletariat is. You can make working class money and still be owning class and have owning class interests. This is called petty bourgeois. Congratulations, comrade. |
immigrants can be bourgeois too Elph lmao
Charles is mostly right I think. Class, money and bourgeoisie/proletariat are all different things. I wouldn't say that everyone who owns a tiny business is bourgeois, but having a business generally means aiming to exploit capitalism instead of being exploited by it. What jwb said about generating wealth etc. |
