Re-proletarianization is a theory by Noah Khrachvik of the Midwestern Marx institute.[1][2]

The basis of the theory is that the American proletariat of the 19th century, rather than revolting against the American bourgeoisie, gradually joined the "middle class". In doing so, the proletariat largely collapsed into managerial, service, and other unproductive labor.

While other nations proletarianized before and during the 20th century, the American proletariat was held back and further alienated, from not only human nature and social being in general, but from productive labor itself.

In the 21st century, and particularly after 2008, this "middle class" began shrinking and the process of re-proletarianization began.
