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

prole

As in other definitions, used to describe a person deemed of a lower, more worthless social rank. Created by George Orwell in his book "Nineteen Eighty-Four", to describe the lower insignificant classes of the fantastical British state.

"The proles are out on the streets causing trouble again."

Prolefeed

Derived from the novel "1984" by George Orwell, who defines the word as "the rubbishy entertainment and spurious news handed out by the Party to the masses." This word is part of the language Newspeak, the language used by the people of Oceania in "1984."

This bullshit on Fox News is prolefeed. Turn it off.

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.

prole

From "proletarian" meaning wage-earner or worker. The shortened version being a derogatory term used by the middle and upper classes to deride the working class majority.

Oh Tarquin, look at those wretched proles. Set the hounds on them.

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.
