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.

    truckers often don’t actually own their means of production

    i should think that the truckers with the freedom to go on months-long protest cruises are the ones who do own they trucks

      I bet a lot would, yes. They aren't earning from direct exploitation so they'd need to have a lot saved up to continue making payments and fuck around.
