I dont understand why you hate petty bourgois so much. They work and own the means of production, so they arent bourgeois since they dont exploit workers and they arent workers because they arent exploited by the bourgeois.
If by petty bourgeois you mean small business owners that hire other workers to exploit then they have become bourgeois, not petty bourgeois.
At least thats how I understand it.

Eh, I support my local record store. Lady's just trying to sell good music at fair prices while paying her workers a good wage. I'd hardly call her Petty Bourgeois just because she's trying to give my community a better option than Amazon for physical media; she's barely making ends meet at that. Pretty sure I make more money than her just working a normal office job.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Yes. We should investigate if our drive to buy is based on needs or wants or pressure to consume. We should end consumption for consumptions sake.
Serious question, where are we supposed to buy things we need? But business is bad, small business is bad, what's left?
That isn't what supporting small business means in this context. The support of small business is like when your politicians say things that they are the backbone of the country and they need tax breaks, more lenient regulation or subsidy. In the US they often subsidize small business owners like during COVID with PPP while letting their population suffer with no (or a one time) subsidy, no subsidized health care, no housing subsidy.
It is realizing that business owners and entrepreneurs are not your friends, they are a class of people that exist to exploit your labor and you need to organize to over throw the economic system that benefits them over you. Communists are asking you to support your needs and the needs of people like you over the needs of people who exploit you.
Ok, but I'm not seeing people saying that on here. I'm seeing a lot of people doing the big business < small business < co-op attitude, but not much of the fellating small business owners

Is your username your full gov't name? 😭😭😭
Payam is a double meaning because it is a name and it means message. The rest is an inside joke but funny enough there is a doctor online who looks like the worlds most generic Persian dude and isn't far off LOL
