Also known as the proletariat, petite bourgeoisie, and bourgeoisie, respectively

True, but over a century of anti-communist and anti-socialist propaganda has kinda soured most of the west on anything with even a whiff of either, so I figured I would spell it out without the "scary commie words" ๐Ÿ˜‰

Petite bourgeoisie is what the proletariat are expected to aspire towards. And the way you break into that class is by showing obsequiousness towards the bourgeoisie while enjoying the privilege of unchecked abuse towards the proles.

The crabs in a bucket get a prize if they can climb to the top for long enough.
