people dying from food being too expensive doesn't count as deaths under capitalism though because there's no such thing as systemic deaths in this land of rugged individualism
:ancap-good:
gommunism no food tho
They should have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and then boiled the bootstraps into a thin but nourishing soup
people dying from food being too expensive under capitalism
if you read the communist manifesto this is actually the definition stalamere vladin gives for gommunism
The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.
There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
:youre-awful:

They made us read this in school but without, like, you know... socialism, the book makes no goddamn sense.
I for one am happy to starve if it means Russia is getting hurt :maybe-later-kiddo: :maybe-later-kiddo: :maybe-later-kiddo: :maybe-later-kiddo: :maybe-later-kiddo:
:reddit-logo: libs for real saying this though... and also that the food scarcity won't hurt the US that much so it's OK
They’ll start throwing a fit when their Uber Eats servants have to step over 3 more unhoused people than usual too, but they’ll never make the connection
they won't make the connection even as the guillotine blade drops on from overhead
This is the crowd of who Matt poetically called “little Fauntleroys in crushed-velvet culottes”
New sans-culottes incoming
sweaty if you hate starving to death maybe :vote: more warhawks into congress so we can get rid of Putler? :maybe-later-kiddo: :maybe-later-kiddo: :maybe-later-kiddo:
Chuds blaming "communism" is fucking inevitable
I hate it here I hate it here I hate it here I hate it here I hate it here
Looking forward to Pelosi's pair of $30K fridges full of $8/pint ice cream again
I got jenni’s ice cream a couple weeks ago out of spiteful curiosity. It was so fucking good. I hate rich people
I feel bad for the OP in that post. She's 21 and married with no life experience being taught to her. Probably lives in the southern US and believes she and her husband will have a nice big house with lots of kids. Hope things work out.
I think I was in my mid 20s and broke when I accidentally learned you can eat just anything.
Like. Just throw it in a dish throw it in the oven and then like 20-30 minutes later you can just eat whatever comes out.
I am rather food-illiterate and survive on fast food... how does this work? 😣
Okay, so the magic formula is 350*G for 30 minutes. Potaotes, squash, meat, cabbage, carrots. Anything from the produce section of a grocery store like that with a little oil and rosmary will be good enough to impress a date. Just check it at around 20, and then 25 min cause every oven is different and youbdont want it to burn.

The first rescipe is an ultimate poverty snack. A big orange onion is about 20c. Put some butter or oilve oil, or just like fancy hot sause with it and you have most of a meal that well plated could inpress a date. If you chekc out the food comm here there are a bunch of vatiations of tradional rice and bean dishes that are easy to make and super tastey that could cheaply and healthfully round out a meal.
The seccond is a simple soup that if you had a big ceramic dish you could make in the oven as stated. That guy has a bunch of simple rescipes that are easy to make, and he explains the theory behind them so it is rad. Scroll through his playlists and just click on anything that looks interesting.
I too am nearly food illeterste by I learned by looking at old fashioned rescipes. Cause even the fanciest things they used to make back in the day only had a coupple ingredients and simple prep work.
That's really sad. She seems like such a sweet wife, tho. I hope they're at least happy together.
HUH SO NO BIG DEAL, JUST THE SECOND TIME IN A HUNDRED YEARS THAT A MAN NAMED JOE IS GONNA EAT ALL THE GRAIN
You've grown to know and love state-enforced austerity.
But, have you tried war-austerity yet?
He walked out in the gray light and stood and he saw for a brief moment the absolute truth of the world. The cold relentless circling of the intestate earth. Darkness implacable. The blind dogs of the sun in their running. The crushing black vacuum of the universe. And somewhere two hunted animals trembling like ground-foxes in their cover. Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.
I watch people walk by every day who live in tents with rags on gathering trash and scavenging. The road is already here for plenty of people.
We did it! The US has reached Gommunism!
:biden-leftist:
I mean most of the world's wheat comes from Ukraine and Russia so yeah...
North america produces more than enough wheat for itself, like a surplus of wheat. Whats gonna happen is Irish potato famine type shit where the corporations will sell it to the highest bidder (outside the country) because the government stepping in would be communism lmao
With simple regulations and cooperation between N.A., europe, china and India iirc, this can be mitigated as much as possible. But we all know that won't happen.

Like COVID, China will be fine and everyone else will die. :ancap-good:
Only a quarter of total production from Russia and Ukraine combined.
