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.

    Yeah I guess it depends on whether we're using the liberal redefinition of what it means to be a farmer, which is, like you said, basically any agricultural outfit, which is now mostly huge businesses. I mean smaller-time folks, people who employ others to work a piece of land and sometimes work it themselves as well.
