Here's a take you may dislike: the petty bourgeoisie oscillate between proletariat and bourgeois politics; they don't have class politics of their own.

The workers need every ally they can get in the class war. This means winning over the petty bourgeoisie to our revolution. 1/5 https://twitter.com/bolsh3vik/status/1358498370655031298

We can do this w/ a set of transitional demands that benefit them and us, like nationalizing the commanding heights of the economy and eliminating corporate secrets. This would ultimately lead to lower interest rate loans that would help small business owners. 2/5

Socialist revolution must be approached scientifically. We can't snap away the petty bourgeoisie overnight as we can smash the capitalist state via revolution, so we must show them the confidence and strength of the working class. This will win them to our revolution. 3/5

The petty bourgeoisie have ppl knocking on their door for money too. We can find common ground here. The goal is int'l socialist revolution, not communism overnight. Let's be smart about this. 5/5
