"Lumpenproletariat" is a silly idea and if people are still using it after Maoism and black radicalism and all the rest you should mock them and throw things at them. (hexbear.net)

"Lumpenproletariat" is exactly the kind of idea an educated German theorist would come up with in the wreckage of the industrial revolution and it's ridiculous to try to carry that notion forward to the age of cell phones and heavily armed maoist prostitutes and if anyone can't understand that you should throw grass at them until they stop being dorks because they're too far gone to touch it themselves.

Like ffs read even one anthro text about black market and grey market economies and stop treating The Man's legal system like anything but a criminal organization.

criminal organizations like the mafia, yakuza and triad are very reactionary, the USA has always used these orgs to attack the Left. When the PRC was established, the triad were driven out and they fled to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. During Deng's reforms, the Triad made their way back into the PRC and are thriving again.

Those who are "criminal" according to the bourgeois state, are completely different from those who are criminal according to the proletarian state

The difference is far from complete. Homelessness wouldn't be criminal in a proletarian state, for example, but burglarizing a home or robbing someone at gunpoint still would be.
