Actually the joke didn't write itself, i stole it from someone else
I'm sorry, how is there a Canadian chapter of the American Communist Party? I know Hinkle is a hack, but come on.
Canada and America are one volk or something. Not Mexicans though.
Unless by "American" they mean the Americas, and not necessarily the US.
But if that were the case, there ought to be chapters of the Party in the 33 other nations, not just US and Canada.
The patriotic ACP will bring prosperity to the poor Small Business Owners™
Business owners love to reward the hard working janitor with a promotion. This is a ticket straight to the top.
In Ukraine they have the Nestor Makhno award for small businesses. Will Canada (lol) and their chapter of the ACP give the Eugene Debs Award for achievement in law enforcement?
Nestor Makhno award for small businesses
That was a real thing, wtf. At least it seems to not be anymore, the website is gone.
Not a lot of small businesses to award when BlackRock comes and buys your whole country.
I wonder if i'm becoming a real-boy commie soon as this made me actually angry
tbh it probably looked better with the graffiti, especially if they didn't color-match the new paint properly
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 on how you measure class "distance". By income? Closer to the proles. By relation to means of production? The haute bourgeoise. By "ideology"? Well, the ruling ideology of any society is always the ideology of the ruling class, so the proles, petite bourgeoise and hautes all believe in liberalism anyway.
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
Not every exasperated petit bourgeois could become Hitler, but a particle of Hitler exists within each exasperated petit bourgeois 
In a very vulgarized and simple answer...
They identify and have some economic elements that make them seem closer to the capitalists but tend stagnate where they are or outright fall back into the ranks of the proletariat.
