Highly doubt most of the people drawing furry porn for rich guys these days are living a luxury lifestyle of eating caviar and having sex with models in Manhattan or shaking hands with MBS over oil deals
don’t need to be wealthy, it’s about your relationship to the means of production. Petite bourgeoisie just own and work their own means of production. Small business owners can’t afford that lavish shit either
This is a disingenous take because the vast majority of artists in the world are likely proletarian. Consider anime artists, do you really think people who are employed by a specific studio and have to do hours a day of back-breaking labor are really… petite bourgoisie? They do not employ themselves, and do not have access to their own means of production.
My real point is that if you don’t even know what classes Marx described, you shouldn’t try doing Marxist class analysis until you read some theory. No investigation no right to speak and all that.
Self-employed artisans were petty bourgeois.
Petty bourgeois extract labor value from others, small-scale artisans are generally not petty bourgeois unless they have assistants or something.
not necessarily, the petite bourgeoisie also include those who own and work their own means of production, which would include self-employed artisans.
Not so, if you own and work your own means of production but don’t profit from others’ labor value, you’re just a yeoman by another name

Not the point, please read Marx.

But I have clearly… Read the theory. Nothing I have said was incorrect
