While the identification of the 'immigrants' as an exploited underclass is correct, the term 'proletariat' is not (yet) appropriate, mainly because of the absence of a class based political consciousness in that particular group.. In fact , the vast majority of those immigrants are heavily committed to individual success within the liberal private property for merit system.
The only (serious) insurrectionary movement that is actually capable of making a dent and therefore catch the hegemons attention is radical islamism. And this radical islamism functions in pretty much the same way than 20th century fascism did: it substitutes class based analysis with adherence to and inherited cultural identity. While there is some egalitarian overtones, they are mostly bait to attract and instrumentalize this same underclass as cannonfodder for the wars to come (and some fought recently)
Anarchists (maily western ones) have failed by far and wide to even address the problems as lined out here because they themselves have replaced political economic analysis with adherence to a chosen (rather than inherited) 'political' identity (a cultural one really). As a consequence, they lack the arguments necessary to effectively communicate with the mentioned migrant underclass,
Subconciously, they see the the migrants 'cultural identities' reflected in their own, will refrain from critique of the principle behind it, and often do their own subtitution of classs analysis by segragation into inherited identities based on race, gender or sexual orientation.
The subconsequnet political isolation cannot be broken by violent, let alone armed struggle or even increasingly radicalised retorics.
brave but unsophisticated
