The word proletariat refers to the working class, particularly those who do not own the means of production and must sell their labor for wages. In Marxist theory, the proletariat is seen as the majority class in capitalist societies and is often contrasted with the bourgeoisie, who are the capitalist class that owns and controls the means of production.
