“Peasants, who directly manage about 10% of the land on Earth […] supply a countervailing principle to corporate extractionism and short-termism. They also preserve critical local #knowledge of land and #weather systems, and the interactions of #plants and #animals. The #peasantry is one of #humanity’s most crucial #economic, #social and #ecological resources […]”

"Neopeasantry in the capitalist settler colony today is a hazardous practice that could potentially worsen the problems of housing affordability and settler colonialism if it is not approached through a radical consciousness that is critical of settler-capitalism, racism, cisheteropatriarchy, and capitalist social relations."

> ..the conflict in a #ModernizingState between the claims of #IndustrialDevelopment and those of #agriculture. For more than a decade the #MeijiGovernment had assigned priority to the former, and to the country’s rulers and intelligentsia, intent on the systematic creation of a modern #IndustrialBase, it was self-evident that when the two came into conflict, industrial needs were too urgent to be frustrated by local outbreaks of distress among the #peasantry.

The American Revolution is dead. It was a good 200+ year run.

I hope this post gets a lot of likes. My poor children are hungry and I have to feed my pregnant wife.

By way of an introduction, one of the books I wrote 'Kill all the Gentlemen' told the story of rural class struggle in England. I am currently researching to write a book on the German Peasant War of 1525, Reformation and Revolution, for the 500th anniversary. If that matches your interests, say hello. #Socialism #peasantry #marx #engels #1525 #Germany #reformation
