proletarian

is without property, stripped of family relations, stripped of national character.

The proletarian is without property... his relation to his wife and children has no longer anything in common with the bourgeois family-relations... modern industrial labour, modern subjection to capital, the same in England as in France, in America as in Germany, has stripped him of every trace of national character. Law, morality, religion, are to him so many bourgeois prejudices, behind which lurk in ambush just as many bourgeois interests. (Marx 1848 : 13)
