this site is excessively antagonistic towards PMC/petit-bourgeois people and i don't really get it. yeah, a lot of PMC people are soulless ghouls but they are still workers and most great revolutionaries throughout history have been petit-bourgeois. just because they can afford a couple of luxury items doesn't make it so the labor and living conditions under capitalism are any more bearable.
Mao's father was one of the wealthiest farmers in his town (sure, you could say he wasn't petit-bourgeois because China hadn't reached capitalist development, but he was still privileged socioeconomically), Fidel came from a relatively well off family (his father being Spanish and Fidel having studied Law in what probably is the most prominent Cuban university), Che came from an upper-middle class family and was a medical doctor in Argentina in the 50s, Ho Chi Minh's dad was a scholar and a government official, etc.
i'm not saying we should focus on radicalizing petit-bourgeois people (we really shouldn't) but it's clear that some of them can be great comrades and we shouldn't shoo them off simply based off their class status.
