If you see someone stealing, no you didn't.

Until we have true solidarity between what Marx deemed the "lumpenproletariat", ie folks with various reasons for being homeless and/or jobless*, and those of us with the privilege of having extra shit like cars, we will continue to have our shit taken just like the rich. I don't want to hear complaints about your car getting broken into until we are ALL ready to stand with those "below" us against our collective oppressors.That person is starving, you can go without a back window.

* One of the things I disagree with Marx on. He viewed them as a detriment to the revolution, too dependent on the systems. Anyone who's ever been or known someone on food stamps or unemployment knows just how stupid that conclusion is. Those things are intentionally demeaning, leading to deep seeded resentments.

New issue of #LumpenJournal out now!

Issue 16 of #Lumpen is devoted to #class and #care and features takes on these themes from a variety of writers who share the experience of poverty and class-based discrimination. Lumpen's editor, Amy, wrote:

'Care is the hidden, knotty and essential work that makes the world go round. It happens behind closed doors. Those early mornings, late nights, meals made, lifts given, medication reminders, bus timetables translated, forms filled, money lent, washing up, bums wiped. It’s the hardest fucking work you will ever do.

It is underfunded. It is often performed for free or under the guise of ‘love’. Like the #lumpenproletariat, care has been condemned in the Left as unorganisable. It does not fit into boxes or frameworks. It is difficult to theorise. It is disproportionately conducted by migrant, racialised, and feminised bodies. Sometimes, it is poorly, performatively, and paternalistically delivered by the state. Sometimes it’s incarceration disguised as care. Sometimes it’s co-opted by the state, ‘professionalised’ and spat back out as ‘client-centred’. But, it is the work necessary for people to survive.'

The San Diego Union Tribune is putatively still a journalism shop, so they can't say what everyone living in the lands of #methamphetamine are thinking. Metal thieves are THE legends of our #California #lumpenproletariat, an old problem which has seen our monuments desecrated and laws on recycling tightened significantly. That they are walking up and jacking plaques in front of the camera is probably as much the new desperation of #snap hunger as anything else... #uspol

"Discussion en non mixité lumpen-pro

Car trop peu de personnes des classes sociales marginales et/ou exclues sont présentes et actives dans les luttes et conflits sociaux/éco/politique, nous vous proposons de se retrouver pour une discussion en non mixité de classes sociales
Notre non-mixité peut être définie comme pratique de résistance, comme autogestion Parce que la non-mixité est parfois nécessaire dans l’émancipation
