New at Objections: No more proletariat, nowhere?

Nobody talks about the “proletariat” these days. The word has disappeared, just like “working class” or even “worker.” There is no “workers’ movement” anymore, no labor parties, the trade unions no longer fight. It is widely believed that the the “proletariat” existed only in history, in Manchester capitalism . . .

Will post all future blog updates in this thread.

Hey! I more or less agree with this one even if there arguments can be a bit clunky.

However, only consciousness of the problem has disappeared with the disappearance of the term, but not the problem itself.

Indeed ... this disappearance of consciousness is the only thing that all fashionable deniers of class and class struggle can cling to.
