I work lawn irrigation with a bunch of guys who are trapped in this career path and my coworker just coined the term "expendable worker". While essential workers have jobs that service our society, expendable workers perform labour worth more than their lives. They can't afford to stop working, even if it's non-essential business. It's depressing to see such self-awareness among a group that still views anything past liberal as too left for comfort.
Proletariat. People can have no or false consciousness for a whole heap of reasons, and most don't have time to develop it.
That's why the notion of the Vanguard was developed. That section of the class that HAS consciousness.
