I think I'm being dense here, but Napoleon Bonaparte was an arrivist Corsican junior army officer (although subsequent Bonapartes and Bonapartists were aristocrats of course).
Bonapartism is not associated with Napoleon but Louis Bonaparte, who Marx discussed in the 18th Brumaire. He was the first Bonapartist in Marxist terms, but others followed--such as Juan Peron, FDR, De Gaulle, Hitler after he had consolidated power, etc.
