Communists don't defend the really poor's interests by definition; which is weird given their target audience in the west. The Communist Manifesto (1848), where lumpenproletariat is commonly translated in English editions as the "dangerous class" and the "social scum", Marx and Engels wrote :

"The lumpenproletariat is passive decaying matter of the lowest layers of the old society"
