What is the connotational difference between the Italian terms "operaio"and "lavoratore", specifically in the Marxist sense? I was leafing through Che Fare? (What is to be Done), and there were references to "la classe operaia". Does it specifically apply to manual labor? Is this similar to the French and Spanish terms "ouvrier" and "obredor"?
Operaio is usually referring to a factory / industrial worker, the "classe operaia" has a meaning close to the industrial proletariat in classical marxism. It usually doesn't include farmers and the like. It's also a bit of a dated term at this point. Lavoratore just means someone who works, in a very generic sense. I think the French and Spanish equivalents are close but I don't know enough of either language to know the nuances.
