Best Answer

A member of the working class.
The proletariat is a social class composed of common workers in a capitalistic society who neither own nor control any of the means of production within that society and have nothing to sell but their own labors. Individual members of the social class "proletariat" are known as "proletarians."

The proletariat refers to the working class in a capitalist society who do not own the means of production and must sell their labor to survive. They typically face exploitation and alienation in the workforce, leading to the Marxist belief that they will eventually rise up against the capitalist class in a revolution.
