Proletariat are wage earners, manual workers or peasants, whom socialists view as being without property and thus, under capitalism, at the mercy of employers. Proletarians are to be distinguished from: (1) The bourgeois or merchants, employers and white collar workers, and (2) The nobility and landed gentry.[1]
