Sort of. The petite bourgeoisie strives for independence, rather than collectivization, under normal conditions. This is why they often resist socialization, and can be reactionary. Their distinction from the proletariat requires that we treat them in their own distinct way, but we can ally with them just like we can ally with the peasantry. A failure to correctly handle the petite bourgeoisie allows fascism to fester, as the class that becomes most reactionary in crisis is the petite bourgeoisie as they risk being cast into the proletariat.
The bourgeoisie proper is the enemy, but just like how the proletariat can ally with the peasantry and petite bourgeoisie, so too can the bourgeoisie manipulate the petite bourgeoisie towards their own ends.
