Lol. Don’t be so dense. I didn’t say the PMC are “the enemy.” Just that they have distinct class characteristics that affect their politics.

Nothing is “leftist” because there is no such thing as “leftism”. It’s a bullshit meaningless term like “progressive”.

If you don’t understand how the petit bourgeois and PMC classes have different class interests than the actual Proletariat than honestly you should do some more reading. There is a very breadtube sentiment among the western left that “anyone who works for a wage/salary is a worker” or whatever and they’re right but they’re wrong to think that their interests align with those at the bottom. Even blue collar skilled workers who grew up poor but make $85k/yr now as a plumber or electrician have very few interests in common with the Proletariat and are usually the most reactionary segment of society. The reactionary nature of the Labor Aristocracy and Petit Bourgeoisie manifests as overt Fascism, while the “progressive” conservative nature of the PMC manifests as Social Fascism.

Having your organization be 30% petit bourgeois/PMC is going to effect the class character of its politics. If they’re a small fraction that must be subordinate to a Proletarian majority that is fine but 30% is enough to pull any org in a certain direction.

Subsistence living fetishization isn’t fucking leftist.

“workers of the world, unite with bourgeois college kids!”
