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.

    that is also a good point! means of distribution != means of production. and I see how trucks would be the former, even at scale.

    I guess in theory if you owned a fleet of trucks and didn't do anything with them, you would be wasteful, but not bourgeoisie. But the only way to earn money from a fleet of trucks is "passive income", since you can't drive them all yourself, so then that means labor exploitation and puts you in the bourgeoisie that way.
