I am not sure if the concept of working class and proletariat as the revolutionary subject is useful anymore, specially when many of the new members of the so called working class may not be able to get a job in their whole lives, depending on how the situation evolves. We will have to see if the redistribution of income and wealth from labor to capital stops at some point or inequality just keeps increasing.

Now it's the golden age for programmers, but we will have to see how this holds in the long term, seeing that the main goal of a perfect programmer should be to automatize himself out of a job in some sense.

Anyway, malthusian apocalyptic predictions are fun, but one should not forget that just because they were wrong once it doesn't mean they will be wrong each time, we don't have "father God" nor "mother Nature" to cover our asses anymore. All responsibility is in our hands.
