This is how you do it!
We (the west) often look at the chinese with some amount of arrogance about them being "peasants".
Truth is, Winnie Pooh has to take some care, because they will fuck things up if their situation gets worse instead of better.

Systems are difficult to oppose in every society. We're all just trying to get by.
Peasants? In one of the top capitalist countries?? Haha, good one... They certainly have farms, but that's just one end of the production ..
Nothing wrong with being a peasant, in this context: History is full of peasant revolts. People in the European middle ages were perfectly aware of how the system was stacked against them. Arguably, more than they're now.
