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
