Lumpen: A journal for poor and working class writing - 6
Issue 006 (Winter 2020)
Lumpen: A Journal of Poor and Working-Class writing is exactly what it sounds like. First hand accounts of lives on the rock face of austerity, critical assessments of the state of the left, the UK, and the international.
In this wintery edition, you’ll find texts that deal with topics ranging from the microaggressions that keep folk feeling small, to the explosive and conflicting relationship to identity, and the intersections between class, sexuality, gender, and race within that. There's a dedication to someone who is no longer with us from one of our regular writers, and plenty of illustrations inspired by the texts.

The hologram : feminist, peer-to-peer health for a post-pandemic future
Cassie Thornton
In an era when capitalism leaves so many to suffer and to die, with neoliberal 'self-care' offering little more than a bandaid, how can we take health and care back into our hands? In The Hologram, Cassie Thornton puts forward a bold vision for revolutionary care: a viral, peer-to-peer feminist health network.
The premise is simple: three people - a 'triangle' - meet on a regular basis, digitally or in person, to focus on the physical, mental and social health of a fourth - the 'hologram'. The hologram, in turn, teaches their caregivers how to give and also receive care; each member of their triangle becomes a hologram for another, different triangle, and so the system expands.
Drawing on radical models developed in the Greek solidarity clinics during a decade of crisis, and directly engaging with discussions around mutual aid and the coronavirus pandemic, The Hologram develops the skills and relationships we desperately need for the anti-capitalist struggles of the present, and the post-capitalist society of the future. One part art, one part activism, one part science fiction, this book offers the reader a guide to establishing a Hologram network as well as reflections on this cooperative work in progress.

In this issue, you'll find posthumous work by a comrade no longer with us, journeys into the abyss, thoughts, and analysis on neuro-divergence and class... as well as shame, Englishness, a look into the history of working-class writing projects, and more. oh and a nice cover depicting the general feeling of falling into autumn whilst carrying the sadness of ashy clouds, charred forests and skies the color of fire. fuck capitalism, fuck covid, fuck environmental degridation, fuck intensive farming, and fuck blaming workers for everything.

Chav Solidarity
D. Hunter
To the political left Hunter's people are the ignorant and the illinformed, to the victorious right they are the unwashed and disguarded waste product of the laboring class. Chav Solidarity is part autobiography, part bloody fist into the face of the respectablility politics, but mostly an articulation of the contradictiory heart of Chavvy shit heads across the U.K.

Tracksuits, Traumas and Class Traitors
D. Hunter
"Tracksuits, Traumas and Class Traitors" the book is about the ways in which economically and socially marginalised people practice abolition on a daily basis. It's about the fight for dignity in the face of unrelenting contempt. It uses some of the authors own experience living in poverty throughout his first 25 years, as he goes in and out of prison, the care system and homelessness, and how he and his fellow travellers navigate trauma and each other.. It's about the violence of white supremacist patriarchal capitalism, and the ways in which this violence hurts our bodies and minds. It's about love, care and solidarity being the everyday revolutionary practice from below
