 @woodland creature :pleroma_fox_tan: @Semblance In this case people are going to keep stealing food as long as they can't afford it. Whether or not the end result is desirable doesn't make much difference, since it's inevitable either way. 
 @Parker Banks @woodland creature :pleroma_fox_tan: blacks don't steal food because they can't afford it. 
 @Semblance @woodland creature :pleroma_fox_tan: Well now everyone's doing it. They're just trend-setters. 
 @Parker Banks @Semblance if the government takes control over food production it'll be like the soviet union- farmers will deliver their harvest under armed guard to the state. inner party members will live like kings and everyone else will fight for the scraps

and if you're caught stealing food, go to a gulag i guess 
 @woodland creature :pleroma_fox_tan: @Semblance My in-laws grew up under that. All cattle belonged to the government, so my mother-in-law's father would butcher cattle in the night, grind up the meat and mix it with pork, and bury the carcass so the government wouldn't find out. 
 @Parker Banks @Semblance apparently libtards think this can work if they just try it one more time
