I'm curious about this.
I'd first heard it in a Burkinabé context. I don't remember coming across it in Marx or Lenin?
What's the history of the concept? We need to get to the bottom of this. (I'm too busy to read right now, maybe in 12 hours.)
It was coined by Marx. See glossary on marxists.org.
There can be a reactionary usage of the word, but there is also theoretical utility in distinguishing proletarians with different relations of production. Based on the glossary here it sounds like Marx used the specific word lumpe satirically against Stirner, but idk the details of that.
It's literally in the Manifesto.
