    Proletarians work for a wage, peasants do not. The undocumented immigrants on USA farms are proletarians.

    Your main claim was that, the Soviet Union “collective” farming system caused famine; but in reality it was just the conversion from traditional feudal peasant farming to modern capitalist farming, entirely orchestrated by the state.

    Modern farms are already “collectivized” and so your claim does not hold water or is at best accurate but completely irrelevant to the modern day.

      Well you’re a pedantic one aren’t you? Undocumented immigrants don’t have the rights of a citizen and therefore are a lower class. They work in the agricultural sector for the landowner while having no rights. That’s a peasant to me, but go a head and continue be pedantic about everything to avoid having any new thoughts.
