A bit of real humor about your #privacy!

Meanwhile...

Timerider (1982) might be an okay movie but the poster #art was amazing.

I've always hated the concept of the lumpenproletariat. It seems pretty dismissive and, well, reactionary to me. Doesn't feel like it fits with the rest of the ideals of socialist thought.

"We are going to organize the working class to create a society that serves even the lowest. Except for these people over here who are lost causes."

Also, like, I feel pretty close to the various groups of people who are lumped in with the lumpen. Homeless people, sex workers, the unemployed, criminals... Shit, I feel like these are people who understand life better than a lot of people who've read theory.

Anyway I hate the term and I don't find it necessary. All these folks are the working class. Assuming they can't learn or wouldn't be interested in a better world... Shouldn't a socialist know better than to engage in such rank snobbery?

-reinforces the gender binary
-makes you sound like a bougie
-cliched as fuck, no dramatic tension

"Friends and enemies":
-Inclusive and gender-neutral
-makes you sound like a supervillain
-dramatic tension: who are the friends and who are the enemies?
