#+title: abolition of the proletariat The abolition of the [[file:20200716135419-proletariat.org][proletariat]] is one of the goals of [[file:20200707205056-communism.org][communism]]. More specifically, the goal is the *self*-abolition of the proletariat. The proletariat are the class in society that makes society work: [[file:20210130181335-workers_only_have_their_labor_power_to_sell.org][workers only have their labor-power to sell]]. This implies that a proletarian is dependent on [[file:20200716144936-wage_labor.org][wage labor]]. Therefore, in order to create a classless society, the goals should not be to create a "proletarian state" but for the self-abolition of the proletariat itself, as a "proletarian state" is not the abolition of classes, but the maintenence of wage labor.
