    Yeah, not doing volunteer farm work to give private people and corporations free work and profit.

    If there were some state-owned ones that the food was used to feed public school kids or others on government programs, maybe.

    But no way for someone else’s profit.

        We already do, I implore you to learn how the omnibus agriculture bill that goes through congress each year actually works. Most food production is entirely government funded, but for some reason a bunch of “profits” also get skimmed off by big corporations. Rural America only exists because of farm subsidies (which isn’t a bad thing, it’s just dumb to pretend like it’s not collectivized and allow leeches to profiteer).

              Of course it wasn’t. The land of plenty could never suffer from a famine.

                Listening to experts because they probably have good reasons for their classification 🙅‍♂️

                Rejecting expert opinions because of my political “America bad” attitude ✅✅✅

            Really? Why did they allow those private farms at all then? My understanding was that the farms that were collectivized only produced enough for themselves to eat, so they went back a little and said “okay, you can have SOME capitalism until we get it figured out”. How they figured it out was quotas, and hey, on paper it looks good. You just have to tell Stalin a good number. Somehow the store room’s still empty.

        They certainly didn’t say it was paid work.

      Oh, sweetie, that is precious. You are and have been your entire life.

      Here is a complete list of farm subsidies you are paying for. The totals are mind bogglingly huge.
