Already replied to the original person, but this isn't what communists are mad at; there's a MAJOR difference between the petite bourgeoisie and self-managed goods and services. It's the surplus of labour at traditional businesses which are considered bourgeois, not having co-ops or self-produced products.

    As a communist, we don't get mad at people selling quilts on etsy; we more or less question people who either aren't self-managing their services or have no co-ops. The petite bourgeoisie are people who have a surplus of labour, which is exploitative.

    Liberals aren't leftists and actual leftists want to dismantle capitalism as a whole. Liberalism still exploits the working class and the global south.

    Edit: I'm literally heavily disabled and have been homeless twice.

    I've never been a drug addict, but I am formerly homeless. This is a genuinely disgusting post; so many addicts have genuinely tragic lives. They are also so much more than just addicts and are people just like you and me.

    I normally never say this to people, but genuinely fuck you.
