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
Communism is when no bread. Americans Can Now Expect to Live Three Years Less than Cubans
Bro we’re living shorter lives because of TOO MUCH bread. Heart disease and diabetes is wrecking the shit out of Americans
Impressive mental gymnastics. So the "starving" Cubans live more than Americans because Americans have "too much" bread?
Yeah we’re a fat as fuck country. There’s obviously a nightmare scenario because of our shit-tier healthcare system, but at the end of the day, it’s because people don’t willingly eat healthy because there’s an abundance of cheap, greasy food.
Why is there an abundance of cheap, greasy food?
I would assume subsidies lol
Why are there subsidies for greasy, unhealthy food instead of healthy and clean food?
It’s not a subsidy for a processed meal, it’s more about how we’re subsidizing the shit out of the domestic meat industry so burgers are artificially cheap
Why?
Source on forced abortions?
Never said forced, they just so happen to terminate about 42% of pregnancies.
If it's happening, it's either forced or Cuban women really love getting abortions for funsies. I still haven't seen a source.
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.
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.
