The difference between the big bourgeoisie, the national bourgeoisie, and the petty bourgeoisie

1.The big bourgeoisie is the big bourgeoisie that holds monopoly capital and manipulates socio-economic and political domination in the imperialist stage. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, it came into being with the development of liberal capitalism to monopoly capitalism.

2.The national bourgeoisie is a bourgeois group in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, whose own economic development is not closely related to foreign capitalism, and whose capital is weaker than that of the bureaucratic bourgeoisie or the comprador bourgeoisie.

3.The petty bourgeoisie in Marx's theory refers to those who are somewhere between the bourgeois capitalists and the proletariat[1]. They mainly include middle peasants, small craftsmen, small traders, freelancers, etc.

The petty bourgeoisie owns a small part of the means of production or a small amount of property, and is generally neither exploited nor exploited by others, and lives mainly on its own labour. However, there is a small percentage of them that have a slight exploitation. As laborers, they are ideologically inclined to the proletariat, and as private owners, they are inclined to the bourgeoisie, and they are extremely susceptible to the influence of bourgeois ideas.

The bourgeoisie (also known as the bourgeoisie) is one of the wealthy classes in the class division for capitalist society according to some schools of Western economic thought, especially Marxism.

The bourgeoisie emerged in medieval Italy, when the inhabitants living in the villages began to become richer than those living in the nearby countryside. As a result, they can gain relatively more power and influence, getting closer and closer to the ruling class and the clergy, while gradually moving away from the plebeian class. This medieval bourgeois archetype was the mill owners, who were able to exert so much influence on the local economy that they could express their veto power over the rulers.

The economic power is different, and the degree of integration with the regime is different.

The amount of money is one thing, and the object on which survival depends is another.

Difference Between Petty Bourgeoisie and National Bourgeoisie:

1. The possession of the means of production is different:

1. The national bourgeoisie has little capital, small scale, and weak technical strength in developing countries, and occupies part of the means of production.

2. The petty bourgeoisie is between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, neither exploiting nor exploiting, owning a small part of the means of production or a small amount of property, and living mainly by its own labor.

Second, the group composition is different:

1. The national bourgeoisie in Chinese society is transformed from landowners, merchants, administrative leaders, and handicraft owners.

2. The petty bourgeoisie consists mainly of the broad masses of intellectuals, petty merchants, craftsmen and freelancers.

3. The roles assumed in the social revolution are different:

1. The national bourgeoisie is one of the driving forces of the Chinese social revolution, but it cannot act as the main force of the social revolution. National capitalism is twofold: revolutionary and compromised.

2. The petty bourgeoisie is one of the driving forces of the Chinese revolution and a reliable ally of the proletariat.
