The total alienation. The condition that gives an organized prole their potential to seize the means, that being the socialization of labor, is by definition something that the lumpenproles are alienated from. Imagine trying to do a socialist revolution based on the ideals of /r/antiwork: it’s untenable! You simply must take advantage of the social forces of production and how they organically bring workers together under a common interest; scattered oppressed people by themselves are a hard surface to build a parallel power structure and a dictatorship of the proletariat off of.
