Give one rational reason why petit bourgies shouldn't be ruthlessly liquidated.
In short they're: They're The_Donald, r/politics, nu/pol/, soccer moms that leave the lights off in order to "save" the environment while driving their 3 kids around in an SUV, new age "spiritualist" that worry about "chemicals", hipsters completely infatuated by dumb consumer "culture", "radicals" blabbering infantile teletubby talk and whose hearts skip a beat when they hear "meany" words like "dumb" or "retard"
They're neither proper reactionaries or revolutionaries. True porkies or workers. They don't actually care about politics, but they can't help but reduce it to ritual and spectacle. It's all just flavor and branding to them. Without a hint of irony, they should be exterminated. Hauled onto trains and shoved straight into the incinerators. Forced to dig their own graves. Nooses tied around their necks and thrown off the nearest high-rise. Yes. I'm mad. I'm mad about petit bourgies.

Petit boogs are far more vicious towards the people beneath them than the wealthiest of elites. Maybe it's the precariousness of their economic station, maybe it's ideology, or maybe they're just raised to be completely worthless. Either way, good riddance to them.

Bourgeois notions that I reject. As opposed to regurgitating socialist ideals? Not everyone is lucky enough to be a socialist. I personally count myself as lucky for finding Holla Forums and reading theory. 100% agree. Looking at the second paragraph, I think you are buttblasted by redditors, which is fine, they are somewhat indicative of culture. No, when class distinctions are removed via revolution, they will sink or swim. Once they have the freedom to be a proletarian or be a traitor, that is when action should be taken. Not now.
Lucas Jones
The line between proletarian and petit-bourgeosie is much less clear than youre acting. Most people in capitalism as it exists now are forced to not only sell their labor but participate in their own exploitation (brand and market themselves) and in the exploitation of others (the countless manager/supervisor job positions you need to compete over to get paid anything decent at all)
Jason Rogers
I won't go so far as to advocate for 'liquidation,' but petit-bourgeois ideology definitely needs to be stamped out. It's particularly pernicious due to how deeply it influences societies like the USA. Because petit-bourgeois ideology is the ideology of the 'scheme,' the secret plot to becoming rich, usually involving small business entrepreneurship or selling/developing real estate. This is far more dangerous than the idea of the ladder-climbing manager or bureaucrat, which I don't really consider to be petit-bourgeoisie.
It's dangerous because it's so prevalent, and so deeply ingrained in peoples' minds as their way out of proletarian drudgery. Pretty much anyone can hate the haute bourgeoisie, the Soroses and Zuckerbergs of the land, but small business owners, landlords and property owners get treated far more lightly, because most people wish to see themselves in those positions if they could only 'make it.' And once they do, they can carve out their own little local tyrannies of hierarchy and privilege, limited in scope but far more capable of making those below them miserable. Individualist petit-bourgeois ideology is the primary obstacle to solidarity and class consciousness, in addition to being the bulwark of status-quo politics, consumerist waste, cultural stagnation and intellectual ignorance. They are also the first to fall in line should a fascist movement take power.

Nah, ask any prole that was stuck serving the rich. Almost always it's the petty booj's that are almost rich that behave the worst towards staff and in general. Multi-billionaires and those born into wealth tend to be better behaved.
Julian Jenkins
True. At least big capitalists like Bill Gates, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, etc try to "give back to society" in their ineffective liberal way of donating to charities but petite bourgeoisie just want to fuck everyone that's in a worse condition than them.
