i also want to add that this 'distinction' — of who is easily replaceable — is only useful to certain classes that shouldn't exist. it isn't a term of what jobs can be easily replaced, it's about what people can be easily replaced, and that's unhelpful to the proletariat.

everywhere i've ever lived, 'unskilled labour' was used more as a slur than an economic term.
