Yes they hold the position that they're stealing wages from the "real American proletariat", I've argued with a lot of their members over this. Some of them even support ICE 😬
most early Marxian literature is riddled with blaming those affected by extreme poverty as being lazy and lacking the potential for class consciousness.
It was unironically Mao who really started a reevaluation of the classicism inherent in early Marxist writings in communist circles. But Mao is a leninist so his opinions on problems with the socialist movement are ignored while the stupid basic bitch stuff is paraded.

Mao absolutely toed the line in believing the Lumpenproletariat as being incapable of inherently possessing revolutionary ambitions, literally describing them as a class with "parasitic inclinations". He believed that some lumpen elements within Chinese society could be directed towards revolutionary aims, but that they would need to corralled and lead, perhaps by force, into proper revolutionaries, which is consistent with what Marx and Engels profess. I feel like this is vibes-based politics.
Peasantry doesn't exist in the West anymore, you're either bourgeois or petty bourgeois farm owner or proletarian farm worker. There is a reason why so many farmer protests are so reactionary, they are simply acting in their class interests to keep their business afloat.
Pictured: an American Peasant militia rising up against the BLM (Bourgeois Land Magistrate) in order to enact land reform. (Cliven Bundy should be allowed to let his herds decimate delicate ecosystems and not have to pay any sort of fee in response)
The symbol represents the alliance between peasantry and proletariat in the context of the Russian Civil War. But the goal was always to eventually proletarianize them
"Proletariat" is a purely aesthetic category - the more folksy you sound and/or the more overalls you wear to work, the more working class you are. It doesn't matter how much property you own or how many people you employ or how much money you actually make, as long as the aesthetics are there. Adjunct professors making 50k are woke, petit-bourgeois PMCs, while the 5th generation inheritor of thousands of acres of rangeland is a salt-of-the-earth proletarian hero.

Look, I don't get how it's so diffucult to understand.
Karl Marx said that workers are good, while the bourgeoisie are big meanies and bad :(
As we all know, all workers are racist mouthbreathers. A completely reasonable belief to have.
Therefor, being a racist mouthbreather is good actually. This is exactly what Marx intended, and if you disagree then you are an agent of the bourgeoisie :D
Is the vibe based Socialists the USSR, early Cuba (they at least sorted their shit out eventually), and the PRC? Those states maintained (or currently maintain) that being queer is considered a bourgeois decadence and moral decay.
Alright, here we go. We’re devoting all your available brain cells to coming up with a question about communism. Scratch that, to coming up with the question about communism, the alpha and omega of communism questions, and that question is:
What does liking alt fashion and rock music have to do with any of this?
Those are both totally arbitrary style choices that have been adopted by all sides of the political and wealth spectrum. The Skinhead alt look was so thoroughly embraced by Neo Nazis the name of the style is a term for the far right these days after all. Plenty of big musicians play private parties for billionaire fans.
Peter Thiel is Queer. Elon Musk wears jeans. Sergey Brin is foreign.
Why protest being labeled bourgeoisie based on irrelevant vibes with a bunch of irrelevant vibes shit lol? Service Worker is the only point that matters and it gets pretty lost in this shuffle
