The proletariat, or the class of proletarians, is, in a word, the working class of the 19th century."<ref>https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/11/prin-com.htm</ref> </blockquote> | <blockquote> "The proletariat is that class in society which lives entirely from the sale of its labor and does not draw profit from any kind of capital; whose weal and woe, whose life and death, whose sole existence depends on the demand for labor – hence, on the changing state of business, on the vagaries of unbridled competition.
