I. Introduction
This chapter examines the internal structure of the working class sub-
ject to differential locations in the social formation. We assume that in
Israel, as elsewhere in the world, the proletariat, like the bourgeoisie, is
not an internally homogeneous class. Ruling classes are constantly compelled
to segment the proletariat as a measure of discipline and control. These
segmentations are precisely to impede proletarian alliances against the rul-
ing class. Examining the internal structure of the working class is, there-
fore, a way of assessing the material conditions for and against proletarian
alliances. This is built on the findings of the previous chapter, where we
identified segments of the Jewish and Arab labor force who, in terms of
their locations in the division of labor, belong to the proletariat.
In this chapter, we try to examine whether this segment of the labor
force who, in the production process, occupy common proletarian class loca-
tions, are segmented on the basis of arrangements beyond the division of
labor in the social formation as a whole.
We are especially concerned to answer two questions: (a) whether seg-
ments of the working class benefit directly or indirectly from surplus val-
ue produced by other segments of the same class; and (b) whether the differ-
ential relation of Jewish versus Arab workers to the Zionist political/ideo-
logical superstructure undermines the commonality of their class interest.
We must keep in mind that the Israeli social formation, unlike any
other in the world, is a pre-planned one. It is not the outcome of the
historical course of class struggle as social formations naturally evolve.
We try to identify tentative features of its planned organization of pro-
duction, consumption, and reproduction. - تاريخ
