Seriously, I am unable to really find much about them outside of short lines from Marx and Mao about their potential destructiveness among other things, but I still do not really know what that “class” is. It seems to refer to the poorest members of society that includes unemployed, criminals, homeless, etc… And are they really so incapable of being utilized in revolutionary activities as they are portrayed?
Edit: By “destructiveness”, I refer to how Marx and Mao portrayed them as people that are not considered reliable allies in any proletarian revolution (though even this understanding might be wrong because I think the explanations about them are vague).
How the fuck do you honestly connect MAGA to a term that has historically been applied to people like prostitutes, pickpockets, and the homeless?
The lumpenproletariat are the underclass of society that exists outside of the law; not MAGA fascists, many of whom are better off than the average prole.
Words have meanings, comrade. If you don’t know the meaning don’t just make one up.
I agree that they should have defined terms better, but your comment came off as a bit mean.
I tend to get pissed off when people start advocating for killing poor people.
Understandable, comrade.
Hello. I never, ever, have advocated for that. Please don’t say that. You’re being hurtful over a misunderstanding. I will take a few more days off Lemmygrad to reflect.
Maybe you didn’t mean to but that is ultimately what your post said: that lumpenproletariat are MAGA fascists and have to be killed. Given that the lumpenproletariat are the poorest class in a capitalist system you can surely see why I’d be upset at the accusation that they’re both fascists and that they need to be killed.
Mind you that many poor workers, myself included, often fluctuate between regular proletariat and lumpen status.
