it insists on this 1800s argument/fantasy about factory workers. In an age and economy where 70% of people work in the services sector.
It insists nothing of the sort. It makes no difference whether one labors for manufacturing industry wages or service industry wages. Either way one is proletariat, selling one’s labor to the bourgeoisie for survival.
Yes, you are proletariat now. I too have vacillated between proletariat and petit bourgeois over the years, sometimes an employee, sometimes a freelancer, and sometimes a business owner with employees. Class isn’t a measure of income or a vibe, it’s one’s relationship to capital.

Congratulations, you are now petit bourgeois.

You’ve solved capitalism: everyone can simply fill out a government form and become petit bourgeois.
