(Latin: proles, off- spring)
Term popularized in modern socialistic writings. It originally applied to a class of Roman citizens who possessed little or no property, and were regarded as contributing nothing to the state except offspring. The term was revived by advocates of Socialism to designate that class of the community which possesses no capital at all, and, in a looser sense, the working-people generally.
