Workers are not citizens, but subjects. We are subject to capitalism and should return to using the word.
When did we ever describe workers as citizens? We have always called them subjects. I remember us ridiculing Tony Benn’s suggestions that, if the head of state was elected, that would transform workers from subjects into citizens.
There is nothing to return to as we never departed from calling workers subjects (of some state or other).
