various segments of the labor force (identified in Chapter IV) who perform
proletarian labor categories in the labor process. Where, in the Israeli

tion as exist in actuality. It is essential, however, that these features
be viewed not statically, but rather dynamically, in constant transforma-
tion; transformation through struggle between social classes. It is also
a rough abstraction of the differential locations of the various segments
of the working class in the social formation. This includes and goes be-
yond their locations in the division of labor. It reflects differential
locations in relation to the means of production, consumption, and repro-
duction. These involve relations to the economic "base" as well as the
political/ideological "superstructure" which together make up the social
formation.
We must remember that in Israel the "superstructure" consists not only

labor force in Israel does not share common locations in the social forma- - تاريخ
