What did Marx call the middle class?

Marx called the middle class "petty bourgeoisie" or "petty capitalists." Marx largely ignored the middle class since he saw society as being divided into owners and controllers of the means of production and the common worker. According to him, the middle class was comprised of doctors, lawyers, architects and other professionals as well as small business owners. He believed that the middle class had at best a neglible effect on the forces of materialism as they shaped society. The middle class were only "petty bourgeoisie because they did not own the means of production and so were not truly part of the bourgeoisie. Nor were they common workers therefore they were not truly part of the proletariat. He called them petty bourgeoisie because they tended to aspire to be more bourgeois than proletarian and had more characteristics in common with the bourgeoisie than with the proletariat.
