class and no class language

[frank scott]

"The "dangerous class", the social scum, that passively rotting mass
thrown
off by the lowest layers of the old society, may, here and there, be
swept
into the movement by a proletarian revolution; its conditions of life,
however, prepare it far more for the part of a bribed tool of
reactionary
intrigue."

This Marx fellow seems to have known a thing or two . . ."

he was referring to what they called the  lumpen, not the
proletariat...anyway, both groups were exclusively white, as were the
bourgies, at that time... the "white trash" slur is a product of
american race relations, not marx ...

but he did know a thing or two!
