Microsoft Word and class discrimination
Though it recognizes "proletariat," MS Word puts a squiggly red line under "lumpenproletariat." One possibility: the bourgeoisie (Microsoft) conspires to conceal the existence of its reactionary partner (the lumpenproletariat) in order to further defer the possibility of revolution.
Another possibility: the Microsoft programmers, themselves proletarian, disdainfully stand apart from "that passive dungheap of the lowest levels of the old society" (Communist Manifesto) -- class struggle continues even on the blank page.
