only in times of crisis people quietly begins to navigate that, in fact, happening.That's how life is.Despite the constant efforts of journalists in covering the political situation in the country and in the world, the efforts of activists belonging to various parties, people are not eager to understand how to shape public life.But you need only to roll once, unfortunately, a wave of problems as there is a class community.People feel a community of interests.Especially those previously characterized the proletariat.What is it?How to develop the concept and what has become?Let's face it.
term "proletariat"
What is it, everyone knows.Yet to be eroded from the minds and anecdotes terms such as "revolution", "dictatorship" and so on.Notwithstanding that the concept does not bind as now, with the economy or shale gas.They belonged to a large number of the population, is characterized by certain symptoms.People engaged in the production of wealth, working in a certain place in large groups, were the proletariat.What it meant in the past?It was a class that is not just involved in the creation of wealth for the society.He is under the capitalist system was the main "tool" of getting rich.In addition, people in the most natural circumstances were capable of self-organization.They simply work in close groups, knew each other well, a lot of talking.And usually live in close quarters, which helped to "establish" close contact.
Where does the concept
After a few revolutions, we are accustomed to how powerful and proudly heard the word "proletariat".What is not so, it turns out, if you dig into the history.It turns out that the very concept originated in ancient Rome.As you know, there was a multi-layered society.Slaves had no rights.But the patricians were the most authoritative and powerful layer.Between said there was another "kind" of the population.They were citizens of all freedoms have a right to vote.That is, the property they had, but they could express their opinions on the elections.They also had the right to give birth to children - such as free citizens.We call them proletarius, that came to us in the form of the modern word "proletariat".However, the meaning, of course, was not the one.Proletarians called citizens that benefit the State only by having children.Agree, personal pride in this interpretation is not.Rather, it slides neglect.
proletariat Marx
matter how modestly belonged to the term the Romans, the great theorist of class struggle began to use his name.Just put an entirely different meaning.According to his understanding of the action of the proletariat depend not only politics and power, but also the existence of the state.Naturally, the class found deficiencies that need to be overcome.Marx wrote a number of works, which explains how to organize the masses in order to enable them to participate in political life.He did not avoid the attention of the proletariat and weapons.Because the working class has been the backbone of production, it is, according to the philosopher, could regulate social processes is the influence of this very process.The strikes and the strike - that weapon of the proletariat.The people at the same time does not lose the valuable, that he has, as it does not assign the value added.And for the capitalist production stop - a sharp knife.
Signs proletariat
theorists that there is no doubt that this class has a special status, it conducted a full analysis.It was identified its main features.Not exploiter.That is the segment of society that hardly creates a product.Last, he does not assign that gives him the right to influence society.The proletariat - the most significant part of any state.His role in the creation of a material basis so great that eliminate or neutralize it impossible.Moreover, this class should progress at the crest.Cultivator himself and helps the progress of society.It is understood that the man is rightly called the leader of the group, is able to speak for the whole people, as it will express the opinion of its main strength.Such a person called "the leader of the proletariat."For example: during the revolution and then it was VILenin.The person known to all.
world proletariat
Since theorists of building a new society did not agree on half-measures, the working class, they wanted to unite everywhere.There was the notion of the world proletariat.These are people who have symptoms of a class that unite has no place of residence, but the general idea.They were the backbone of the global society, so could dictate their conditions to establish order.You should not assume that all in the past.The proletariat as a class exists now.He is somewhat altered.In addition, it ceased to be so united as before, during the coup.However, the notion has not disappeared.If during the revolution of Lenin called for the building of communism in every country, but now he, too, may appear and start rallying people.It is clear that the theory will push him to seek followers among the people, meet the above criteria.
modern proletariat
used to working mostly worked with his hands.Times have changed.Now, under the proletariat understood completely different people.The fact that production is now moved into the phase of mental labor.People who produce ideas and technologies that develop the industry without added value is assigned, is now becoming the proletariat.Who is it?Scientists and engineers, programmers and designers.Their work is currently the most promising and advanced.They create the most valuable in our society - technology knowledge.Do not assume that such a change has reduced the significance of the proletariat.Quite the contrary.
strength of the current "intellectual of the working class"
Let's start with the fact that we live in a world where resources can come to an end.Even invented a word - "exhaustible".That is something of which made the same "surplus product", may simply disappear, since the bulk of today's resources is not compensated or the process is so slow that it is imperceptible to humanity.And it is growing!Good requires more at the present level of consumption.However, he was not satisfied.It turns out that every year there are more people who want to live as best as possible.Agree that the problem is serious.In such circumstances, the segment of society who can figure out how to divide the available resources rationally, create new ones, becomes arhiznachimym.It is these people with the hope of watching the world.They will be able to prevent many disasters that scare humanity: get rid of hunger, disease, war and so on.
So, the proletariat won?
Coming to the modern understanding of the working class, the society faced with such a strange question of why he needed the capitalists.Exactly!Earlier, they performed some useful role - to accumulate resources in order to organize their use.Now, the meaning of such action is becoming more elusive.The first thing to figure out how to make them reproducible, or go to other sources.It is only the people that produce mental product.And why should they capitalists?It is much more profitable to carry out the whole process of state with a social ideology.Because of society's problems will be resolved more equitably, not competitive.Is this true - time will tell.And the modern proletariat there is a weapon that is almost impossible to take away: talent, education, and skills!
