Why do you people dislike the welfare system and despise the so called lumpen-proletariat? I feel like they will bring back the relief camps in Canada soon and I must prepare myself for such occasion. But back then the communists had our back. You (on lemmygrad) despise and harbour only hatred for the "lumpen-proletariat." Why? I need to know the reasons for your hatred so I can organize properly.

Edit: I'm not even surprised tbh. Nerds have no empathy with those they consider "uncivilized." We cannot coexist.

Naturally Marxist Leninists are going to hold at least an ounce of distain for "welfarism" due to the way the bourgeoisie have historically used welfare to placate the masses into accepting a temporary band aid rather then actually seizing power for themselves. That's not the same thing as opposing welfare in principle the way conservatives and reactionaries do, unless you're advocating for an extreme degree of welfare that ignores material reality.
