lumpen
Lumpen is a term often used in sociology or political science to describe the lowest socioeconomic class, especially those who are considered to lack consciousness or societal involvement. Derived from "lumpenproletariat", a term used by Karl Marx, it refers to the underclass viewed as politically ignorant or passive. The term is often used to denote people living on the fringe of society, including beggars, criminals, or vagrants.
