politics portal v t e marx who studied roman law at the friedrich wilhelm university of berlin 16 used the term proletariat in his socio political theory marxism to describe a working class untainted by private property and capable of revolutionary action to topple capitalism and abolish social classes leading society to ever higher levels of prosperity and justice with reference to such expectations andreas dorschel alluding to sigmund freud s notion of super ego über ich calls marx s proletariat a super we über wir installed above any actual workers movement 17 marx himself defined the proletariat as the social class having no significant ownership of the means of production factories machines land mines buildings vehicles and whose only means of subsistence is to sell their labour power for a wage or salary 18 borders between the proletariat and adjacent social classes have been defined only vaguely in marxist theory in the socially superior less progressive direction are the lower petty bourgeoisie such as small shopkeepers who rely primarily on self employment at an income comparable to an ordinary wage intermediate positions are possible where wage labor for an employer combines with self employment in another direction the lumpenproletariat or rag proletariat which marx considers a retrograde class live in the informal economy outside of legal employment the poorest outcasts of society such as beggars tricksters entertainers buskers criminals and prostitutes 19 20 socialist parties have often argued over whether they should organize and represent all the lower classes or only the wage earning proletariat a 1911 industrial worker publication advocating industrial unionism based on a critique of capitalism the proletariat work for all and feed all according to marxism capitalism is based on the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie the workers who own no means of production must use the property of others to produce goods and services and to earn their living workers cannot rent the means of production e g a factory or department store to produce on their own account rather capitalists hire workers and the goods or services produced become the property of the capitalist who sells them at the market part of the net selling price pays the workers wages variable costs a second part renews the means of production constant costs capital investment while the third part is consumed by the capitalist class split between the capitalist s personal profit and fees to other owners rents taxes interest on loans etc the struggle over the first part wage rates puts the proletariat and bourgeoisie into irreconcilable conflict as market competition pushes wages inexorably to the minimum necessary for the workers to survive and continue working the second part called capitalized surplus value is used to renew or increase the means of production capital either in quantity or quality 21 the second and third parts are known as surplus value the difference between the wealth the proletariat produce and the wealth they consume 22 marxists argue that new wealth is created through labor applied to natural resources 23 the commodities that proletarians produce and capitalists sell are valued not for their usefulness but for the amount of labour embodied in them for example air is essential but requires no labor to produce and is therefore free while a diamond is much less useful but requires hundreds of hours of mining and cutting and is therefore expensive the same goes for the workers labor power it is valued not for the amount of wealth it produces but for the amount of labor necessary to keep the workers fed housed sufficiently trained and able to raise children as new workers on the other hand capitalists earn their wealth not as a function of their personal labor which may even be null but by the juridical relation of their property to the means of production e g owning a factory or farmland marx argues that history is made by man and not destiny the instruments of production and the working class that use the tools in order to produce are referred to as the moving forces of society over time this developed into the levels of social class where the owners of resources joined to squeeze productivity out of the individuals who depended on their labor power marx argues that these relations between the exploiters and exploited results in different modes of production and the successive stages in history these modes of production in which mankind gains power over nature is distinguished into five different systems the primitive community slave state feudal state capitalist system and finally the socialist society the transition between these systems were all due to an increase in civil unrest among those who felt oppressed by a higher social class 24 the contention with feudalism began once the merchants and guild artisans grew in numbers and power once they organized themselves they began opposing the fees imposed on them by the nobles and clergy this development led to new ideas and eventually established the bourgeoisie class which marx opposes commerce began to change the form of production and markets began to shift in order to support larger production and profits this change led to a series of revolutions by the bourgeois which resulted in capitalism marx argues that this same model can and should be applied to the fight for the proletariat forming unions similar to how the merchants and artisans did will establish enough power to enact change ultimately marx s theory of the proletarian s struggle would eventually lead to the fall of capitalism and the emergence of a new mode of production socialism 24 marx argued that the proletariat would inevitably displace the capitalist system with the dictatorship of the proletariat abolishing the social relationships underpinning the class system and then developing into a communist society in which the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all 25 during the chinese communist revolution the concept of the proletariat emphasized having a proletarian class consciousness rather than having proletarian social attributes such as being an industrial worker 26 363 in this way of defining the proletariat a proletarian class consciousness could be developed through a subjective standpoint with political education supplied by the chinese communist party 26 363 this conception of the proletariat allowed for a marxist theoretical framing under which the revolution could address the relative weakness of industrial working classes in china 26 363 exactly what constituted a proper proletarian class consciousness was subject to intellectual and political debate 26 97 proletarian culture edit marx argued that each social class had its characteristic culture and politics the socialist states stemming from the russian revolution championed and created the official version of proletarian culture some who have argued that this assessment has become outdated with the advent of mass education mass communication and globalization according to this argument the working class culture of capitalist countries tend to experience prole drift proletarian drift in which everything inexorably becomes commonplace and commodified examples include best seller lists films music made to appeal to the masses and shopping malls 27 stieglerian approach edit extension of the marxist concept edit bernard stiegler philosopher of technology through a rereading of the grundrisse 28 the philosopher bernard stiegler expands the concept of proletariat 29 according to him the proletariat is defined by engels and marx in the communist manifesto not by impoverishment but by the loss of knowledge of which impoverishment is a consequence and which they write will ultimately affect all strata of the population 30 he links this phenomenon to a loss of individuation a concept developed by gilbert simondon simondon offers a new perspective on the question of proletarianization he frames it as a process of de individuation that results in a loss of knowledge through its externalization into machines and devices 31 according to stiegler proletarianization is a process he identifies three phases of automation throughout the history of capitalism the industrial revolution the advent of the consumer society and surveillance capitalism these phases are accompanied respectively by three stages of proletarianization the proletarianization of technical skills of social skills and of critical thinking 31 the current stage of capitalism is that of widespread proletarianization which affects all tasks domestic educational recreational as well as those carried out by research design production and logistics units etc 32 more broadly these skills might include cooking educating residing in a place living together counting or measuring etc 33 examples edit stiegler considers the renowned economist alan greenspan who served as chairman of the u s federal reserve during the subprime crisis to be a proletarian 28 indeed greenspan admitted during the congressional hearing that he did not understand the complex financial products he had popularized and furthermore that no one understood them 34 according to anne alombert fr coworker of stiegler chatbots are a proletarianizing technology because users delegate their ability to think 35 deproletarianization edit the process of proletarianization can be reversed through what stiegler calls deproletarianization that is the reappropriation of knowledge 36 he cites the example of collaborative practices such as those found in the open source software community fab labs and wikipedia which he places at the center of his theory of the contributory economy 37 all of these practices contribute to the recreation of the commons including digital commons 38 for stiegler contributors invest themselves because they want to expand their knowledge and skills such a thirst for knowledge is a desire to become deproletarianized 39 deproletarianization goes through a de automation 40 however stiegler emphasizes that this does not have to be done in opposition to machines he cites the example of wikipedia contributors of whom he is one 41 who are assisted by bots for tedious and repetitive tasks 42 see also edit working class social class of people working for a living blue collar worker working class person who performs
