      I don't know if you have your terms right. Lumpenproletariat is the underclass of chronically unemployable people.

      Sometimes there's an inclusion of career criminals in the lumpenproles. Marx didn't see them as having revolutionary potential but Mao and the Black Panthers did.

        In modern parlance we refer to this as "Army of Thieves and removed" but some people want to amend it to "Army of Thieves and Sex Workers".
