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?

    Sometimes petty bourgeosie, sometimes artisan. I think class aspiration plays a factor.

      My aspiration is to earn enough to raise a family of 6 (yes, 6). I’m considering selling PC parts like water cooling pipes, decor, and crafts for a living.

    Isn’t there only two classes the bourgeoisie and the proletariat? And custom pc builders are most certainly not bourgeoisie they cannot build the computers without the parts market, they own just their workforce as any other worker, for what I understand, is that if you stop working you will starve you most certainly are proletariat
