Everybody stick on the legal definition of genocide, and as a strategy it does make sens. However, their is a political struggle, and not as we may expect. "Genocide" word was first defined by a Jewish jurist during WWII, as such :
"Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups."
His works did inspire the UN definition with a more restrictive definition we know today. Raphael Lemkin made a definition that try to prevent inequality, colonialism and oppression that may lead to mass murder. But in preventing hierarchy between people, he made a definition that would make the concept of nationality illegal : every national-state has been made through genocide, according to Lemkin definition.
Personally, I found that silencing this definition to made a new one that allow nationalism after WWII is antisemitic (and racist oc). But I want to underline that the fascist state of Israel is right to point out the hypocrisies of national-state; this propaganda will work until we will stand against our nations as well as against Israel.

Research satellite need to be classified. What could go wrong ? I read somewhere that US classified weather satellite embedded ballistic missile. However, in checking sources I don't find anything.
Their is what Marx said and whats marxists made of that. Again, this is poorly defined in Marx text and spread in a lot of them. You'd rather rely on people that study the lumpen as a context, maybe Jean-Claude Bourdin. However for orthodoxes : "From whore to pope, there is a mass of such rabble. But the honest and ‘working’ lumpenproletariat belongs here as well;" - Grundrisse
A trade union confederation do unionize sex workers as such, and the sex workers section is on the fediverse : https://lemmy.wtf/u/cntstp67tds@pixelfed.fr
Marx position was not about who shall be emancipated or not but who have an interest to struggle for the revolution. In his mind, a part of the proletariat was too precarious, and could be easily corrupt by the bourgeoisie. Such as thieves and cops.
However with the development of the communists party and their propaganda around ouvrierism, the pride of workers turn to be the pride to work. The lumpen became a slur against people that do not work enough; a conception close to the far-right view of unemployed "parasites". That's why nobody use that term anymore, even if it's still accurate for cops and managers
"We think that middle-management employee and cops have distinct interests than other workers" That line came from the previous website of the CFE CGC, the french "trade union" of managers and cops. It's cops federation is a fascist one, and their help engineer from the metropolis getting job in colonized area instead of autochtones people
I think it's pretty normal
Why struggling of giving the right to live decently, why we could defend the right to kill each other ?
