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.
Amazon leases the land their warehouses are on and most of their equipment, not sure that means that Bezos is a proletarian.
Yeah duh. The next part of that quote is the fact that farmers gain from exploitation despite sometimes not owning the means of production for "their" business. They are provided much of the control that ownership provides such that they can begin relatively minor amounts of accumulation. In Marxist terms, they are somewhere in the neighborhood of petite bourgeois. The banks that actually own the land and equipment are then of the haute bourgeoisie.
This relationship is very common. "Small business owners" that are all in debt via business loans such that they don't really own their equipment, they rent their space, etc. But they control enterprise and gain directly from exploitation via employing others. The people they owe are all bigger capitalist fish to which they aspire and with whom they align themselves politically.
