Axshully, Marx talked about how this class -- and that is what he called it 
-- was interesting precisely because, at certain times in history, the bulk 
of them would side with one side or the other, coming over to the ruling 
class to support its interests or coming over to the working class to 
support its interests and, thereby, recognizing membership in the working 
class (that is, class consciousness).

Marx didn't think this was a mythical class.
