Maoist mass line and people's war tactics are far from being only applicable in jungles and countries that half the working class are peasants. This is a take from 1955 or smth. What did the Black Panther Party do but adjust maoist and leninist mass line and anti-state organizing tactics in the reality of urban america and its minorities and opressed? Sure they "failed" , but they failed much better than any other revolutionary org in modern american history. No reason to believe a maoist approach (which is nothing but a more wholistic and advanced leninist approach) cant be the base for successfull organizing in America. At least no more reason to believe that than to believe it for any other approach, be it anarchist ,demsoc ,entryist or anything
a lot of rural communities have proletarianized agricultural workers. black and immigrant workers who the owners of the land rely on. even a lot of the small "family farms" use hired labor. even the most rural areas will have large towns/small cities nearby, and the services in these cities are provided by some of the most marginalized workers in amerika. less than 1% (3 million) of amerikans own farmland, yet there are 5-6 million ppl who labor in these farms but have no ownership of them. 14% of amerikans live in rural area. thats over 40 million rural ppl who dont own farmland. it would be a mistake to totally dismiss rural folk from organizing
