    So is the meme about the U.S. switching to the USSR because the U.S. ran out of food to provide to people like what literally happened in the USSR?

      Conquest of bread predates the USSR but I suspect Kropotkin wouldn’t be a fan

      There was food stability in the USSR, just like any developing country it became more food secure as it developed. The only way the US would become less food secure if it collectivized agriculture would be if it also destroyed all of its infrastructure.

      Plus, the title refers to an Anarchist title. This is a meme that aligns more with Anarchism than Marxism-Leninism.

    Locking post because some conversation threads have become unproductively rude.

    Yes, why starve to death by not being able to afford bread when we can starve to death by not being able to buy bread cuz there is none

      Is there an ending that doesn’t involve people starving? Maybe a post-food-scarcity one?

        In the eyes of reactionaries, tools have their own opinions and refuse to work if collectively owned. They believe in mysticism and the almighty power of the Invisible Hand to guide seeds to bear fruit, not the swear and toil of Workers.
