    That's actually ripe conditions for collectivization. The serfs didn't own land, the peasantry was mostly landless and operating under sharecropping leases. This is just the reintroduction of the old feudal property relations under capitalism. Relations that have shown again and again to serve as fertile ground for revolutionary movement.

      If there’s a spark, yes, but the serfs, funny enough wouldnt dream of hurting their lords to set themselves free

        The Chinese ones did. And when serfdom was abolished, the poor peasantry became revolutionary as their subsistence was no longer assured.

          It’s nice to see what the Chinese did, but we’re talking about America specifically, camel through a needle, etc, etc

            The American sharecroppers were revolutionary. As industrial farming kills off the moderately comfortable position that many farmers had and proletarianizes them, they too will slip into a more revolutionary position.
