History
The word " Chav " is just like " chav " is a shortening of the term " proletarian ". This term in turn derives from the Latin word proletarii from which was used in antiquity as a designation for all Roman citizens of the lowest class of people who could name only offspring ( proles ) their own. This was reflected primarily the derogatory and disparaging attitude of all the higher social classes resist, but especially those of the nobility, the patricians and the plebeians Nobilitas, against all uneducated and unkempt workers. Unlike the slaves were the proletarii free Roman citizens who were responsible for their fate thus themselves, but were able to make from the perspective of the upper layers due to lack of ownership and training nothing off.
The term " redneck " was picked up the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century as part of the workers' movements. In particular, Karl Marx used the concept of the proletariat as a member of the class of wage workers who are forced to sell their labor power and therefore can be exploited by the bourgeoisie. According to Marx, the term proletarian also employees, which he collected all the earn most of their living by selling their labor power. As a result, the fine was based lifestyle of the upper classes - as in ancient Rome - mainly due to the fact that they exploit the large majority. The proletarians but were - according to Marx - the backbone of the state, because they numerically the majority of a people represented, had to toil for their modest wages for the benefit of the ruling classes and thereby ( health ) aufarbeiteten. From the concept of " proletarian " ( Workers of all countries, unite! ) Was the short form of " Chav " derived: Chav - for how long? Discard the Ochsenjoch! .
