I have a little story to tell. Really short because my iPhone screen is dirty and I can’t type, but it’s something I want to expand upon soon:
I’m a member of the lumpen (lumpenproletariat) class. Every one of my friends and almost everyone I so much as talk to is lumpen.
It really feels fucking lonely. Until I met my roommates last year, I was the only non-racist, non-sexist, non-gross, rational person I knew. (I used to have a friend like this, who was so cool to hang out with, but they’re gone now…alive, they just won’t talk to me anymore. I think if I had the friends I have now, then, I wouldn’t have to miss them so much right now.)
Anyways this post reminded me that I need to not be such a mean snob. When my friends are like this, it isn’t because they’re hardcore fash or whatever, and I need to be patient.
(Another thing too is, a lot of us are so jaded and fucked off that we just don’t really care about using PC language. Homeless culture is very thick skinned.)
lumpen are hard to radicalize into leftist politics. Most of the underprivileged people I know have very much internalized the rhetoric said about them and their only glee is in “tearing down” other underprivileged people.
