The Labor Aristocracy in the United States of America
The vast concentration of production in the imperialist era, particularly in the period of the general crisis of capitalism, and the powerful development of machine technology on this basis have been instrumental in bringing about a considerably greater depreciation of skilled labor. At the same time, the increasingly extensive use of machines transforms workers formerly occupied with simple manual labor into low-skilled attendants of the machine. As the result of these processes, social and economic distinctions between different strata of the proletariat have begun to diminish, while the proportion of low skilled machine operators has grown markedly.
