Rococco Marxism

I'm doing this theorizing from the comofort of a graduate level course. I work, but comfortably in an office, at my own convenience while I attempt to better my mind. I don't have to work in a factory or at a construction site. I'm not digging ditches or building houses. While I may struggle economically, it's hard to call myself a member of the proletariat in the original meaning. At best, I'm petit-bourgeois. I can recognize to an extent that my intrests are more closely aligned with the working class, but I'm not truly part of the working class. Am I then a Rococco Marxist? Do I just put on the trappings of a Marxist sensibility despite my own relatively comfortable life? Do we all?
