One thing to point out is that Huey Newton wanted to think of ways to radicalize the lumpenproletariat.
I’ve been lumpenized and I see it as one of porky’s most nuanced devices of social murder. Nothing causes a crash out quite like society explicitly telling you “Fuck off, we neither want nor need you. Go starve on the streets.”
Yes, the Black Panthers were one of the groups I was thinking of the times when it isn’t true. I believe they were one of the earlier movements in the US to see the lumpenproletariat as having revolutionary potential
Which I believe was influenced by Fanon’s arguments on the matter in a more anti-colonial context
Which, critically, was a critique developed outside the norms of British or Euro middle class moralism.
