Agreed, and to many people, the whole three waters proposal does scream of communism to many.
More and more rights and freedoms are being taken away from farmers and same applies to townies too for that matter. 
While it's debatable whether it's communism or not, if people feel that way, it's their freedom to express their concerns. I know a few who feel this is the way the while world is heading, not just NZ.

Farmers are the backbone of this country, and as more have moved to the cities, our connection to the land has sadly dropped away.
I think GS is essentially an overdue release of anger, mostly from farmers who have had a guts full of decades of tougher and tougher regulations.

And who pays for all of this? Us the consumers who have to pay more for food.

I've seen people opposing 3 waters because they see it as a neoliberal attempt to prepare water infrastructure for privatisation.

That would be bad news of course, pretty sure that isn't a labour agenda though...
