This is not exactly what the marxist doctrine 
is teaching. According to that, the sciences 
divide on a) natural (including mathematics), 
b) social, c) philosophy. While b) and c) are 
subject of social class orientation 
(say `bourgeois' or `proletarian'), 
a) is in this sense neutral. 
Therefore at least *mathematical* logic, as a 
part of mathematics, cannot be really 
`bourgeois' or `proletarian', but: it can 
become such as soon as it gets to philosophical 
generalizations, say, on the nature of mathematics, 
which is typical for FOM, for example.
