Random US gangbangers? Barely human savages

Mexican Drug Cartels? Heavily armed savages

Russian Mob? Well dressed savages

Random muslims that just so happen to be criminals? I can’t even type what they call them.

But the Italians? Suave, well-spoken, extremely resourceful and classy.

I’m not sure what causes it. The most famous mob movies all talk about how they’re ultimately a bunch of backstabbers but they’re still so heavily mythologized. It wasn’t even that long ago that they had influence, we’re talking the late 80s where things started to take a turn.

    Yeah, I know, but I also know the cartels in Mexico are also employed by the DEA and CIA, etc.

    Idk, I get what you’re saying

    But to me, they are not the main revolutionary force

    Just cause they can run guns

    Does not make them an asset to the working-class

    So idk

    The Threepers here in Virginia are certainly criminals

    But, also, a lot of them are also rich or from well-to-do families

    Yes, they sometimes try to employ or help the poor around them (to basically inculcate them into their organizations or movements).

    Many poor whites and Latine folks kinda end up in such organizations (err, not necessarily the 3%ers that I mentioned before but you get the point).

    Honestly, I think lumpen can be included in the movement.

    But they are not the main revolutionary force, even if they may be important.

    Honestly, probably not in places in the Global South either tbh
