It’s almost like no one remembers that redneck meant socialist union organizer before it was corrupted to truck loving suburban hillbilly wannabe. The working class is ripe for radicalization, but you have to treat them like full people first, not caricatures.

That's not what redneck originally meant at all. That usage came later in the 20th century. Have a quick look at the Wikipedia article.
