Commie00,
I was going to post this earlier but I decided to
definetly run this by you now. What do you think about
small business owners? I think they are definetly
petitbourgeois. 

Small business owners are employers, they accumulate
capital, some of them have a great deal of say in
local politics but hardly have the national or
international clout to be considered ruling class; and
their salaries also are not necessarily very high. As
for managers, I think some managers are petitbourgeois
or perhaps even proletariat. How would you classify a
manager at a McDonald's or Wendy's?
in struggle,
-Sean



===="We need people who are like the members of the IWW in the United States at the beginning of the century, who ride the rails across the great West and at every station stop to create a political cell, a cell of struggle. It's through their travels that this communication of struggles, of desires, of utopias, took place."
      -Antonio Negri-
