How this page differs from the Wikipedia equivalent
- Sections deconstructing bourgeois rhetoric and strategies surrounding reserve army of labour rather than sections that simply regurgitate bourgeois "criticisms" (deflections) of the Marxist idea.
- Sections demonstrating the bourgeoisie defending the existence of the reserve army of labour and advocating for its expansion (which they are somehow able to do in addition to denying it exists).
- Working links to sources that on the Wikipedia equivalent are broken/old.
- Bullet-pointed summaries of relevant Marx/Engels passages in plain language, along with those passages.
- an attempt to historically trace the development of the concept starting with Marx and Engels, then moving onto later theorists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sankara's Strongest Soldier (talk • contribs) 02:52, October 5, 2023 (UTC)
To-Do List
- add sections for commentaries on the concept from other theorists, (including, but not limited to: Kautsky, Trotsky, Gramsci, Mao)
- add sections for how Reserve Army of Labor interacts economically with related concepts like outsourcing, immigration, automation, social murder, incarceration, conscription, proletarianisation, deproletarianisation etc.
- further investigate floating, latent, and stagnant relative surplus population
