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).

    No, I’m really glad you asked this question. Living in the hood, I had a nebulous idea I couldn’t trust the dboyz and their stables. Now I know to save my breath so I can plant seeds in more fertile soil!

    Thank you! 🫡

      “dboyz” and their “stables”? Slang terms I do not know about :0 Also, you are welcome! I hope you are in a better situation right now.

          Well I never heard of these terms before (it is not like I want to research that topic) but thanks for telling me.

          Edit: What do you mean when you say you had a nebulous idea that you could not trust them?

            I mean, it’s not like I knew and planned on finding out. All I can say is, the woo phrase, “rejection is [G-d’s] protection,” is the honest truth!

            Edit: in a way I’m in a better situation. I know what terms actually mean, as opposed to what I thought I knew them to mean.

            Learn the terms. The life you save may be your own. And don’t say it can’t happen to you. All it takes is say, a husband leaving you, while unbeknownst to you, two months behind on rent, so you rent the first place that happens to be available.

                I’m as safe as it gets. And I’m not trafficked, nor have I been as I’m my own adult (I’m not ready to talk about childhood yet, and don’t touch it, in I’m currently on a seven day work week; I’ve discussed it with my therapist even when I had one). I refused to go into agreement and “keep to the code.” Some say it’s more dangerous that way. I don’t think so.
