it is a separate “class” of people who’s interests mostly lie with the proletariat, yet their small business or whatever makes them believe and act as though they’re part of the owner class.

We are saying the same thing. It is a con the ruling class run on us to make us betray our interests. It’s a lie we tell ourselves because we don’t want to believe we’re in the “lowest” class. It’s a wedge intending to cleave our solidarity.
