This may be a naive thought regarding the proletariat, but i'll post it any way, see what the members think.

If we take the human race as one nation, without national borders, some of those who we regard as proletarians would be bourgoise wouldnt they? I mean, a working-class American or European isnt as economically poor as his African or Asian brothers and sisters, is he?
If this is true, wouldnt the Afro-Asian-Latin American working class need to wage a revolution agaisnt the Euro-American working class after any original global revolution of the proletariat?

Class isn't about how much money you have, it's defined by the nature of your relationship to the means of production.

Even so, wouldnt your relationship to the means of production be slightly different to an African than it is to a European?

Not if they're both workers.

I think you're right XPhile, a proletariat in the Third World would have much less money than a proletariat in the First World.

If there was a single word nation, then many proletariats in the United States might very well become bourgeous by comparison to their Asian and Latin American counterparts.

To "become bourgeois" would require them to come into ownership of a company.
