Definition: Propriariness, in Marxist theory, refers to a system of economic and political power that privileges and exploits the workers. It is characterized by the exploitation of laborers, the control over their lives, and the unequal distribution of resources. The capitalist class, which is the dominant form of economic organization in the world today, has exploited the proletariat for centuries through various means, such as wage slavery, forced labor, and other forms of exploitation.
