When say “self-employed” I mean folks like custom-pc builders, carpenters, vulcanizers, with no additional staff.
Which class do they fall under, capitalist or proletariat? Are there some special cases regarding them?
Technically petty bourgeoisie. Basically have same interests and similar situation as working class, though you might notice historically that they more often than not side with the rest of bourgeoisie against workers. Iirc Marx described that in “The class struggles in France”
Also that post is more for GenZhou community than here.
