      So, in the UK they have special ancestral bullshit about land ownership, and agricultural land is extra special and has all sorts of tax and inheritance gimmees that the oligarchs use to do oligarch things.

      They dont ‘have the same interests’; its literally the same people.

      The same way american farmers are, by area, mostly corporations, but scammier

      100% of the farmers in this protest are petty-bourgeoisie. They are protesting because the changes are likely going to force them to sell their farms, these sales will go to much bigger farms.

      What’s happening is essentially the petty-bourgeoisie being squeezed by the bourgeoisie.

        Well you see they get a lot of money from the government and they’re all massively in debt as long as they don’t sell their land, but if they do they’re millionaires, but they don’t, so that means they’re working class
