In certain situations this seems to be the case. Lenin considered this class to be very flimsy and would often go where the wind takes them. Wonder if yall have read anything interesting on this from AES states.

I think we need to Proletarianize the PB, a PPB operation of sorts.
More seriously though: I think currently I fall in the first camp, WRT my own country, because I think in our particular situation the petty bourgeoisie is simply too opportunistic and too enmeshed with American capital/national identity to be a genuine fighting force against colonialism.
But your point is that they aren’t useful in the fight against colonialism in your country. This just means it’s outside of the debate I was referring to. There are people who acknowledge that in some places the PB are also opposed to imperialism and willing to fight it (take Palestine), but that we shouldn’t support that because it’s not the workers party as the revolutionary party against imperialism.
