again... this is a question of class composition. the working class in
general, in many ways, could be said to be less critical of capitalism now
than in the past.

but the question of proletarianization is strange, considering that even
texts written in the 1800s talk about the divide between manual and
intellectual labor within the working class... thus placing intellectuals in
the working class even way back when.
