^^ seems unlikely, because our rural farming is mainly controlled by agribusiness corporations and wealthy land owners, with automation and technical implementations that couldn't be managed by a sort of rural peasant takeover. Even if ex. Chicano farmers in the California central valley were able to launch military attacks from hidden bases in the hills, they would starve after one season if they drove out the agribusiness. I think that model only works with a class of low tech sustinence farming peasants in the countryside. That kind of farming isn't practiced on a large scale and doesn't produce enough to feed anything close to our population. Basically most urban and suburban people would starve to death or kill for food.
