proletariat chariot 

Public transit, i.e. the bus.

My car is in the shop, so I'm riding the proletariat chariot to work this week.

proletariat 

The general working class that occupies the bottom tier of society. Drives economies and produces "real" profit through its labor. Can often be seen in conflict with the bourgeoisie.

The income of the proletarian is not related to the value of his product.

Proletariat 

The name used to generally describe the working class or poor in society. In Communist-Lingo, meaning the class of society that doesn't own the means of production (Factories, mines etc.) but works for them, selling their laboring power in order to survive.

'Look at that stupid proletariat working at the machine over there.'

"The Proletariat have nothing to lose but their chains, they have a world to win. Workers of all countries, unite!" - Karl Marx

Dictatorship of the Proletariat 

The necessary transitionary stage between capitalism and communism in Marxist theory. A state controlled and wielded by the proletariat used to dismantle bourgeois control. Not to be confused with a normal dictatorship.

The USSR was an example of an attempted Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

proletariat transportation

in all North American cities and towns ( except Montreal, Toronto, Boston, NYC and San Francisco- suburbs not included), an offensive term for the public transit (bus, metro, tram, etc.) system

The reason the 5 cities mentioned above are excluded from the definition of proletariat transportation is because they have a well developed, in North American standards, public transit system.

proletariat 

The working class. People who don't make things but rather sell their labor in the workplace, when the means of production are owned by someone else. The most widely known example is the factory worker. The international proletariat make up about 50% of the world population at this point. See wordbourgeoisword.

A shirt is worth $10. The boss has a factory to make shirts. Workers get paid $1 a shirt that they make, and the cotton costs $1 a shirt. So the boss spends $2 on every shirt. 10-2 is 8. The boss gets $8 a shirt, the worker gets only $1. Something's wrong here...
