Yep, they're agents of capital.

This is why the "1%" rhetoric from Berniecrats and soc dems is a bit misleading. It's not just 1% of the population heavily invested in protecting capital and perpetuating the capitalist system, it's closer to something like 30-40% when you include all the petty bourgies (small business owners, landlords), the agents of capital (cops, feds, organized crime, military, upper management, media class) & brainwashed class traitors (militias, lumpen, reactionary proles).

If there ever is a communist revolution in the US, there's going to be WAY more reactionaries and counter-revolutionaries than 1% of the population (which is still 3.5 million people by the way). Anyone who doesn't think we'll need gulags is kidding themselves.

I would include the bourgeois proletariat (description of many of the English working class around the 20-30s by Lenin) as well; The ones that are of genuine worker class but because they make so much money, they stand to gain from imperialism as they have the wealth to heavily take advantage of the currency and dirt cheap raw resources and labor
