Productive, manual, and non~-supervisory labor categories are the cri-
teria by which Poulantzas defines proletarian locations only in the pro-
duction process. Agreeing with him, however, classes are determined prin-

Lucas, in fact originated in Marx's writing. >? Although it contradicts
the class struggle paradigm, that classes exist only in class struggle, it

subordination remains vague and unspecified.
