About Prole.info:
The author is an anonymous worker whose writings and illustrations can be found on www.prole.info. “Prole” is short for “proletarian” a word used by Karl Marx to describe the working class under capitalism. We are all the people in this society who do not own property or a business we can make money from, and therefore have to sell our time and energy to a boss—we are forced to work. Our work is the basis of this society.
