    (Though probably petit-bourgeoisie?)

    Still a prole until you stop relying on selling your labour power for money. Though an outlier statistically.

        It did make me think of examples where there are edge cases though. Say a freelancer or an artist that, although they do not directly employ people, their income from their work could be greatly multiplied by the work done by others. In the end it might just boil down to details whether such an arrangement is or is not petit bourgeoisie.
