fukken kulak

lol how is this guy a kulak? explain

He owns land.

What's the point of the interview?
It comes across as some rich kid's poverty tourism simulator

It's the south, you can own a plot of land for cheaper than a year's rent in an apartment.

That Socialism will give him an opportunity to really get somewhere in life and not sit in a dump living on 75$ a week. That we're here to help him own his own life instead of sell it away to some boss or executive. And that in no way do we want to dictate every detail of his life like many people see Socialism as doing. In short, we want him to leave.

Seems like a pretty nice guy really. Very possibly anti-capitalist too, considering the way he lives. And if he's not already he shouldn't be hard to convince.
And also, what said. The video is painful to watch with how condescending the interviewer is. At least the Redneck didn't seem to be too bothered by it.

The comments talk about how this man is the real America. Yeah living in a pile of garbage in the richest country in the world is something to be proud of

Probably that socialism will help lift him out of poverty and provide him with services he currently doesn't have access to.

But, mostly, I wouldn't be appealing to him. I'd be appealing to the huddled, disgruntled masses you tend to find in larger cities, rather than rural bumpkins. These guys will back the revolution after it's victory and the benefits of the socialist system start rolling in. Make sure that a clear socialist message is put out in the mainstream outlets of rural areas, and in a decade or so all these guys will start swearing by it.

He's not a redneck.

...

I'd just ask him what he thinks about socialism, dispel any myths he's got about it, go off on the bankers, talk about anti-communist drug running.

Says a lot about you that you think this guy is any different than any other worker.

He's an old guy in a bad spot, but it really ain't that bad, and I'd play to that rather than being folksy and mindless. People aren't stupid.

I remembered that liberals would call this guy muh privileged and then I was too mad to keep watching.

Also I know a lot of people like this, they live scattered all over Northern Ontario. In my experience they are genuinely good people, often ignorant but the fact that liberals treat them like they are the problem is frankly disgusting.

This. In the west the (sub)urban proletariat will be the vanguard. The rural workers will be brought into the fold after the revolution.

Also if I was going to sell him on socialism I would just start talking about the dynamics of capitalism, pointing to the obscene wealth on Wall Street, talking about how he is living with no electricity in the richest country in the world, etc. I'm sure he'd agree that he was getting screwed over, he just needs that resentment pointed in the right direction.

Fucking shoot me right here right now cause if I joined the CPUSA I must've done something wrong in my life

What if he's happy? Why does he need to move to an apartment in the city with an HVAC system and weekly trips to the dentist? Why does he need a Netflix subscription and pay a $100 a month electricity bill?

You guys are the biggest capitalist jew enablers of all time.

If you side with capitalists you are a reactionary and will be put down if you resist. This is basic revolutionary strategy. I don't care how rich or poor a person is if they side with the enemy they will eventually end up in front of the wall.

Expound on the benefits of closer-knit camaraderie with fellow workers thanks to a less strenuous workload, and the mutual benefits of owning the means of production rather than being doled out a paycheck for being someone's slave.

...

His needs are met and he doesn't seem to have much ability! He's a happy lumpenprole!

You idiots don't even understand marx!

We have a word for people who happily live in hovels while their blood, sweat and tears help porkies grow fat: classcucks.

If a guy like this willingly accepts the status quo then he willingly accepts slavery.

You are projecting a cosmopolitan view onto people who never once implied that he would need cosmopolitan decadence.

"You have the right to remain silent and refuse to answer questions.
Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law.
You have the right to consult an attorney before speaking to the police and to have an attorney present during questioning now or in the future.
If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning if you wish.
If you decide to answer questions now without an attorney present, you will still have the right to stop answering at any time until you talk to an attorney.

Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?"

There is literally nothing wrong with the CPUSA.

Fun fact, people like this used to be Socialists. Southern and Appalachian Rednecks used to be the core the US Socialist movement only 100 years ago.

One of the only violent Socialist revolts in the US, actually happened in the South, the Green Corn Rebellion.

I agree with what you're saying and you're right in that you don't need luxuries to be happy, but not having simple luxuries like electricity in the US is a sign of poverty, and poverty is a lot worse than not having luxuries.

:(

No one has trained or armed them to fight the barons, so of course they beg for handouts.

They are thd blameless, true heroes of the revolution, and all parasitic filth will eventually kneel to them.
