You only have one pair of torn boots, patched shirt and patched trousers, you probably have no underwear too (let alone a few changes of it), have scars all around, only a handful of teeth, much of your hair white, dry skin.
You sleep in some boarding house, or more likely in a hammock at the factory.
You are hungry first half of the day and a bit less hungry and a bit drunk the second half. Oh, I forgot - you likely already have a few such injuries.
You generally don’t keep money, it all goes to keep you alive for one more day. Sometimes you don’t have work and sleep under some bridge. The border between a worker and a homeless person is fuzzy.
A-and you are not very literate. You get a look of a newspaper or two from time to time.
Most of what you get to read is socialist political agitation, which is kinda fine. But - all that activity doesn’t happen at work. You’ll lose your bread, that little you get, if you do that. Political assemblies happen at night with torches (hence the traditions of some old parties, not limited to fascist ones).
