I wouldn't say the "door dash" subproletarian class as the revolutionary base is similar to semi-feudal peasantry of 20th century china. But you are correct that "traditional marxism" based on the typical blue collar image is not applicable to the material conditions of the anglosphere. Manufacturing makes up 10.58% of total GDP of the US compared to 19.7% of Germany, 5.36 % of Australia, 8.81% of New Zealand, 10.37% of Canada, 15.37% of Italy, 20.6% of Japan, 26% of China, 10.3% of Burkina Faso, 3% of Tchad and a mere 8.6% of the UK's GDP.
The anglosphere is more deindustrialized than the vast majority of global south countries at this point. Only extractive economies such as Tchad, Niger and Australia can be classified as less "industrialized"
