   The category of the "worker," defined in the strict Marxian economic sense, and politically constituted through the revolutionary vanguard whose goal was the dictatorship of the proletariat, no longer seems viable.

     Funny how people who work in universities come to this conclusion, bookchin says the same shit

     Like okay maybe the narrow Marxian definition was always wrong - notice the reference to stagism in the above quote, so the Marxian categories were viable at an earlier stage but not now? Hmm? Where have I heard that?

     But in any case seems like the wage labour is far more ubiquitous than it was 100 years ago -- back then we cpuld speak of other classes than just proles and capitalists -- and the basic relation of capitalist and worker is even more ossified than its ever been in history.
