I'm petite bourgeois that has seen my business increase in profits as conditions have gotten worse. (tech 2020-now). Are there any Marxist writing on this phenomenon?
What's your industry?
>>2573489Cybersecurity & Managed IT
>>2573500Yeah there’s been massive growth in IT due to Covid and work from home becoming mainstream. I used to work IT and was making bank during Covid. The bubble will pop soon as everyone and their mama is getting into tech and work from home is dying off.
>>2573522cool but do you have anything else beyond just trying to predict the future? Tech bubbles have popped before and tech is bigger then ever now
>>2573593Marxism isn't about Analyzing market trends. There really isn't anymore to say about it than what it obviously is. I mean a lot of Marxist are pretty good at Analyzing market trends though so if you want to check out the crisis thread for stock tips you can.
>>2573659but the opposite is happening in tech in 2025
>>2573703Not really, tech has been monopolizing for the past decade. Covid breathed some life into some small desktop support companies but there’s already a couple uber but for IT professional apps that have started popping up and tech itself is slowing becoming a blue collar field.
>>2573716The point is that the tech petite bourgeois has grown in crisis not been absorbed by the bourgeois
>>2573771Yeah and the more enterprising serf prospered during plague times. Sometimes crisis benefit the surviving lower classes who don’t have to compete with has many people. Cause they’re dead. So their SNL becomes higher.
I would like for the bubble to pop, encouraging a cleavage between day to day IT operations and the ""bleeding edge"" that was previously shovelled out by the mighty tech companies so that the lower to middle ranks of IT workers (the helpdesk, the minor admins, network techs etc) have a better shot at organizing.
>>2573500do you have employees?
>>2573837you're just agreeing with me now
>>2573771What are you basing this on? That your personal business is making money?
>>2573771>>2573716<tech itself is slowing becoming a blue collar field.>The point is that the tech petite bourgeois has grown in crisis not been absorbed by the bourgeoisno contradiction - plenty of "blue collar" petit bourgois like electrician plumber masters who own businesses.
OP is a probably an high end consultant or an small to mid size MSP/it shop. No surprise its booming now.
Anyway tech is a growth field but eventually the cloud will eat everything anyway and bezos/gates/etc. will own 90% of the worlds IT infra
>>2573771>The point is that the tech petite bourgeois has grownWhere is the proofs? Can you share any actual data on that claim? How is petite bourgeoise growth ratio compared to monopoly capital growth?
wtf is this shit thread.
