Goodwyn on the present, or 1989

[Max Sawicky]

My notion of agency is not centered on what
Doug calls the petit-bourgeoisie.  It is
centered on labor.  It includes the p-b.
I'd prefer the p-b to identify with the
working class than the capitalist class.

How would you characterize the current petty bourgeosie? Are you using
it as a synonym for "petty producers," or does it have some other
content?
