Reminder that farmers in western/imperial core countries are rich land owners who owns all the machinery and relies on exploiting migrant labors; also known as kulaks. And the protest itself are mostly driven by environmentally destructive livestock farmers.

Meanwhile the truckers are bourgeois as they owns their means of production (truck) and they're protesting on the behalf of corporate interest fighting against unprofitable Covid measures.

edit: alright, the truck part is a very terrible take and that's on me

Also fuck you if you think service workers are not working class.

      they're gonna do to the farmers what they did to the miners in the days of yore, moreso because these reactionary movements lack any kind of coherent organisation, they'll trash about for a while until they tucker themselves out and then say that any minimal tonken concession they received was the deep state losing power or w/e

      of course, they need not obtain results now, just trashing about is another stepping stone on the hypernormalisation trail

        Yeah a competent enough fascist can fake their way into power using the aesthetics and bootstrap into actual mobilization

        the representatives of the modern labour movement find that they have plenty to protest against but nothing to despair about. Despair is typical of the classes which are perishing, but the class of wage-workers is growing inevitably, developing and becoming strong in every capitalist society, Russia included. Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.
