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.

A lot of people saying truckers aren’t bourgeois but I thought it was usually the case that the people pictured owned trucking companies, and employ people under them. Which would make the people pictured petit bourgeoisie?

I had a job unloading trucks at one point

truckers are not rich people and their bosses often pushed them to drive for insanely long periods of time while monitoring their activity at all times
