Huh, i learned something new. I thought petty really was only ever used as in “petty squabbling” and that it had no other meaning outside of that. It makes sense with your explanation.

Thank you!

(Petty is just the anglicised form. I have no loyalty to the French)

Haha fair. Never seen someone use “petty” over “small”

The better heuristic is to consider the revolutionary potential; how much value is given to private property and how much one benefits from the fall of the US empire. It cuts like a knife through warm butter and better illuminates which parts of the labour aristocrats, proleteriat in the west and the petite borugoisie to target.

Agreed. Also, nice, another one for my reading list

I don’t think most people here are petite (not petty btw) bourgeoisie.

Are you thinking of the “middle class” (higher earners) and their false consciousness maybe?
