Re: [Marxism] Clarifying the term "petty bourgeoisie"?

Also, let's be clear, thus far most of our great socialist thinkers and
leaders have risen from the petty bourgeoise, according to your analysis. Marx,
Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, Castro, Ho Chi Minh. Do we consider them petty bourgeois
or do we consider them revolutionary?

In the interests of historical accuracy, we have to acknowledge Engels's
birth to a bourgeois family that owned textile mills. If it were not for
his ability to subsidize Marx, Marx's job would have been far more
difficult.
