The “fun” thing with the petty bourgeois as they relate to Trump is how classes relate to fascism. Fascism materially arises from a frustrated petty bourgeoisie aligning with the Bourgeoisie against the Proletariat along nationalis and xenophobic lines.
Trump die-hards are largely petty bourgeois, ie small business owners. They can make their own time.
Petit* bourgeois, it’s French so you spelled it like it sounds.
It’s both, actually. I use Petty Bourgeoisie when speaking with non-Marxists sometimes, though it makes little difference.
Had not heard this term before, so I learned something new today. Thank you. And yes, this explains a lot.
No problem!
