We've talked about this a little with Zac "the Mad Redneck" Hyden, a mechanic, organizer, and Christian Leftist from Alabama. He says that Appalachia is an internal colony inside the USA, and among other things it needs land reform to redistribute the land owned by absentee capitalists. He goes into more depth here: https://themadredneck.substack.com/p/internal-orientalism-of-the-american
