Actually the joke didn’t write itself, i stole it from someone else
Question for those who have read more theory than me: Is the petite bourgeoisie closer to the grande bourgeoisie or closer to the proletariat? It’s probably the former, but I would rather ask than just assume.
Depends a lot on historical context. If the petit bourgeoisie perceives that they’re being squeezed between the advance of large finance capitalists and the labor movements (see: Weimar Republic) they will always turn to fascism. If the petit bourgeoisie is being proletarianized they often gain class consciousness and join the workers (see: the national liberation movements of the 20th century).
For Canada and any other imperial core countries it’s always the first case, since despite the fact that large segments of the petit bourgeoisie have been proletarianized due to neoliberalism, they still will prefer to maintain the world system of imperialism.
And in a place like the USSR under the NEP, they become little factories of reaction churning out the belief in liberalism
