       "Is Self-Sufficiency Possible?"
       A call to return the everyday economy to the spirit of the Greek
       Agora, as well as using modern tech to simplify life. Namely,
       making it so that people can make what they need - tools, ovens,
       furniture, etc - on their own or at the most local level. Alfred
       Rosenberg talked about this in Myth of the XX Century in his own
       (and more directly NS) way.

       The intellectuals in the food sovereignty movement can be
       overly-theoretical fops at times, but in practice food
       sovereignty is about plain and simple local autarky.
       It is sometimes said that most hunger crises around the globe
       are due to logistics problems of transporting food, rather than
       inability to grow enough food. In reality, they are caused by
       the anti-autarkic practice of wasting a third of all food that
       is grown (thanks to consumerism), and the huge-scale
       machine-reliant Western methods of farming which make
       local-scale and subsistence farming increasingly economically
       infeasible in many nations (hence the need for food to be
       imported in the first place!).
       This is recognized by the food sovereignty movement:
       [quote]The Green Revolution is upheld by some proponents of food
       security as a success story in increasing crop yields and
       combating world hunger. However, many in the food sovereignty
       movement are critical of the green revolution and accuse those
       who advocate it as following too much of a Western culture
       technocratic program that is out of touch with the needs of
       majority of small producers and peasants.[/quote]
       Even in the US, with its huge transportation network and
       highly-productive mechanized farming industry (which is only
       economically possible due to government subsidies), countless
       communities do not have access to fresh and non-processed food
       at all. These are called food deserts. In simplified terms, they
       exist because it is not profitable for companies to ship produce
       into poor communities. As an additional problem, few cities
       would be able to feed themselves in the event of a large-scale
       disaster that disrupted the transportation network.
       This raises the question, can bringing back subsistence farming
       or intensive small-scale farming within urbanized areas solve
       these issues? I think, increasingly, the Left is realizing the
       answer is not only yes, but that such a shift must occur in
       order for society to be able to abandon consumerism and the
       fuel-machine-reliant way of living.
       Communities which have been the most strongly exploited and
       damaged by the industrialized consumer economy are at the
       forefront of reshaping local economies and food systems. To give
       one example, Detroit, which knows first-hand how destructive
       anti-autarkic economic practices can be, is a leader of food
       sovereignty in the US:
       [quote]Mission
       DFPC is committed to nurturing the development and maintenance
       of a sustainable, localized food system and a food-secure City
       of Detroit in which all of its residents are hunger-free,
       healthy, and benefit economically from the food system that
       impacts their lives.
       Vision
       We envision a city of Detroit with a healthy, vibrant,
       hunger-free populace that has easy access to fresh produce and
       other healthy food choices; a city in which the residents are
       educated about healthy food choices, and understand their
       relationship to the food system; a city in which urban
       agriculture, composting and other sustainable practices
       contribute to its economic vitality; and a city in which all of
       its residents, workers, guests and visitors are treated with
       respect, justice and dignity by those from whom they obtain
       food.
       ...
       Values
       ...
       Justice - To actively work for racial equity and healing. To
       challenge institutional and structural systems that perpetuate
       injustice of all kinds and do not take into account those most
       adversely affected by inequities in the food system.
       ...
       Inclusion - To actively develop leadership and seek
       participation from Detroiters, especially those who are most
       impacted by the lack of access, justice, and sovereignty in the
       local food system.[/quote]

       Autarky facilitates folkism and builds resilient communities,
       which is perhaps one of the reasons why 'the powers that be'
       (who benefit from divided and distrusting communities) have been
       quick to dismiss it.
       ---
       This is an important issue for leftists (see next paragraph),
       but I would first like to clarify that this is not an
       exclusively leftist issue at least in theory, as I know many
       rightists who would support food sovereignty as part of their
       anti-globalism. Certainly a rightist community would benefit
       from food sovereignty just as much as a leftist community would
       under equivalent circumstance. In practice, however, food
       sovereignty may well be more pertinent to leftists at the
       present time:
       few cities would be able to feed themselves in the event of a
       large-scale disaster that disrupted the transportation network.
       Voting and other statistics show that in some countries
       (including the US) large concentrations of leftists live in
       urban habitats whereas rightists are more likely to live in
       rural habitats. In the event of civil war, this would put
       leftists at a critical disadvantage if urban habitats still
       depend on rural habitats for food (which rightists could cut
       off, thereby besieging us), at which point - unless we are
       receiving food aid from abroad - we would lose the war even if
       we possessed superior combat ability. This scenario has already
       been discussed in rightist blogs etc., which are hence confident
       of winning a hypothetical civil war against us. Urban food
       sovereignty would be an obvious precaution as part of our
       preparation for Left vs Right civil war.
       On the other hand, is urban farming the kind of food sovereignty
       we should solely focus on, or should we also try to acquire
       rural farmland where large-scale food production already occurs?
       The difference is that the latter would take existing food
       production facilities away from rightist control at the same
       time as it supplies us with food, whereas the former would not
       reduce the rightist food supply, but merely increase our own.
       Therefore, while I doubtless support urban farming, I advise
       that we also look into strategic acquisitions of rural farmland.
       ---
       In the US, the Driftless Area of Wisconsin, and really, most of
       the upper Mississippi valley is left-leaning. These areas are
       some of the core of rural US farmland.
       Here is a map showing results of the 2012 presidential election.
       Notice that in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, even the counties
       which voted 'red' voted it by a lower margin than states like
       Kansas and Nebraska. As a bonus, these areas actually have more
       fertile soil which requires less irrigation than the firmly red
       states in the same longitude as Kansas. I believe the blue areas
       in the South are also largely rural and suited for agriculture.
       upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/2012nationwide
       countymapshadedbypercentagewon.svg/1280px-2012nationwidecountyma
       pshadedbypercentagewon.svg.png
       Problematically, the average age for farmers in the US is quite
       old, and as they die off within the next decades, a lot of that
       land will go up for sale or lease. But land prices have risen so
       high that without significant funds, it will be difficult for
       anyone except large corporations to acquire it.
       ---
       From what I have read about urban farming, it is very difficult
       to make a living doing it. Food prices are so artificially low
       (both due to governments keeping food prices cheap to keep
       discontent low, and because of subsidies for mechanized
       farming--which, due to economies of scale, out-competes small
       non-mechanized farmers). However, if an urban or small-scale
       rural farmer is efficient and understands their local market
       they actually can make a living by farming useful food crops (as
       opposed to "specialty artisanal" yuppie **** like herbs).
       Although there are a number of different authors, practitioners,
       and approaches on the topic of urban and small-scale farming,
       many people who are currently having success fall under the
       umbrella of "SPIN" (s-mall p-lot in-tensive) methods:
       spinfarming.com/whatsSpin/
       With this being said, farming is barely economically-feasible
       for rural farmers either. Apparently over half of US farmers
       have to work a second job to make ends meet (and remember, they
       are getting big subsidies from the government too!):
       [quote]“Part-time farming is pervasive and it appears to me to
       be permanent, and I think there’ll even be more reliance on
       off-farm income,” says Paul Lasley, a professor of sociology at
       Iowa State University, who studies farm communities.
       Lasley says 50 to 60 percent of farmers in the U.S. have some
       kind of second job – off the farm. Maybe they drive a school
       bus, or sell insulation like Bob Lilienthal.[/quote]
       www.marketplace.org/2015/03/04/business/why-more-half-farmers-ha
       ve-second-job
       Additionally, food is rotting in the fields because farm owners
       can't afford to pay laborers (and because non-immigrant
       Americans, accustomed to a life of luxury, seem to be too lazy
       to work the agricultural jobs which rightists claim are being
       "stolen" by immigrants).
       [quote]More than half of U.S. farm workers are undocumented
       immigrants, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Yet, that
       pool of workers is shrinking.
       A recent Pew Research report found that more Mexican immigrants
       are now leaving the U.S. than coming into the country, citing
       tougher enforcement of immigration laws and the slow economic
       recovery here in the U.S. (The report accounted for both
       documented and undocumented immigrants).
       With fewer workers, farm owners say costs are rising and they
       often must leave unpicked fruit to rot in the fields. Many
       producers are even opting to leave the U.S. for countries with
       lower costs and fewer regulations, said Tom Nassif, CEO of
       Western Growers, a trade organization that represents farm
       owners both in the U.S. and abroad.[/quote]

       network.[/quote]
       This source is not necessarily True Leftist, but this quote is a
       good reminder that it doesn't, and shouldn't, have to be this
       way:
       [quote]As a reality check, I'd like to remind everyone that in
       the 1850's, prior to refrigerated transport, New York City
       supplied all its food for a population of over a million from
       within 7 miles of the borders of the city. (It wasn't worth the
       cost of horse feed and time to go further than 7 miles to export
       food into the city). No one would discount a system of community
       food security for one million people as non-commercial.[/quote]
       www.whale.to/a/blume.html
       Another insight from the article:
       [quote]The reason why monocultures are favored by corporations
       EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE THE LEAST EFFICIENT WAY OF PRODUCING FOOD
       in pounds of food per acre is that it can be done with the least
       amount of labor. To harvest the three sisters you would need a
       digital harvester—i.e. two hands—not a combine.[/quote]
       This is a major problem with the Western economic system in
       general--it prefers a resource-intensive approach rather than a
       labor-intensive approach. For example, when it comes to
       repairing broken electronics, it is often cheaper to throw away
       an entire TV and buy a new one than it is to take it to a repair
       shop so a single broken capacitor can be discovered and
       replaced. Pure insanity.
       Consumerism would be much reduced if individuals actually had to
       take care of and repair a finite amount of goods, rather than
       simply throw away functional but "old" items and replace them
       with one of the millions of new goods already produced and
       sitting on store shelves. The "right to repair" movement is one
       group which tries to run contrary to the "throw away culture"
       prevalent today.
       This actually has implications in farming. Machinery companies
       are trying to prevent farmers from repairing equipment that they
       own or lease. For true food sovereignty, a farmer must not
       merely have the "right" to repair their tools, but have the
       knowledge to do it as well.

       OLD CONTENT contd.
       I had a question relating to food: Before I found you guys; I
       was interested in Entomophagy as an alternative to conventional
       livestock; requiring less feed, water, and space. I know what
       you've said about veganism and sustainable evils, but until
       carnivorous human bloodlines can be phased out, if the First
       World transitioned to raising bugs instead of cows like much of
       the third world, it could stave off the food crisis and buy us
       some time for activism. Also it might open people's minds to
       other aspects of non-western cultures. So, should I continue to
       promote Entomophagy to those who would never embrace veganism,
       or should I forget it?
       ---
       I remember one of my old school teachers saying that one day
       there would be a cow shortage and we'd have to get our protein
       from crickets. Why can't we get our protein from nuts, seeds and
       legumes? I am aware of some people having allergies, but I'm not
       aware of anyone being allergic to ALL protein-rich plant-based
       foodstuffs.
       ---
       The obvious problem with entomophagy is that it results in a
       much larger number of victims of violence for the same quantity
       of food.
       From your link:
       [quote]Crickets, the most commonly farmed insects, have a
       smaller environmental footprint than beef. But when fed with
       poultry feed and kept alive with the help of an energy-intensive
       heating system, their environmental footprint may be on a par
       with chicken.[/quote]
       OK. An average chicken - one individual victim - weighs roughly
       2kg. How many crickets - individual victims - is 2kg of
       crickets?
       "So, should I continue to promote Entomophagy to those who would
       never embrace veganism, or should I forget it?"
       I try to encourage those who would never embrace veganism to
       practice flexitarianism. Eating vegan one day per week reduces
       the problem by 1/7, so if seven people do that it is equal to
       one person eating fully vegan. (In rare cases, flexitarians also
       transition to full vegan as their bodies eventually realize that
       vegan diet is better for it.) I suggest flexitarianism would be
       a better approach than entomophagy for inferior people.

       Yeah, that definitely seems like an easier sell. Besides, if
       someone's one of those hard-line, 'veggies-are-for-virgins',
       'fruits-are-for-fags' carnivores, they're probably beyond
       reasoning with anyway.
       Hey, my home state's in the light blue. so is my birth state.
       ---
       "'veggies-are-for-virgins', 'fruits-are-for-fags'"
       And this brings us back to the field of aesthetics again. The
       vegan community needs to embrace the vegan stereotype (actually
       racial type) of low sexual dimorphism, instead of trying to
       prove it wrong. I personally have never even understood how
       "virgin" is an insult! "Fag" is indeed an insult, implying
       slavishness:
       en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fagging
       but "virgin" implies dignity, idealism, romanticism or at the
       very least high standards. On even the most rudimentary level of
       consideration (we might have to start a new topic for the higher
       levels), how unlikely is it that the two individuals (out of an
       entire world with its ridiculously large population) meant for
       each other manage to actually meet each other? Are we supposed
       to believe that all non-virgins have found the one meant for
       them? Of course they haven't! I would guess only an extremely
       few pairs have genuinely been fortunate enough to do so. What is
       actually going on with the remainder is that (with the exception
       of **** victims) they have disgracefully settled for the
       sub-ideal, in the process betraying the one (originally) meant
       for them who might still be waiting for them (now in vain).
       This was implicitly understood in late 20th century pop culture:
       en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slasher_film#Common_tropes
       [quote]The final girl trope is discussed in film studies as
       being a young woman (occasionally a young man) left alone to
       face the killer's advances in the movie's end.[7] Laurie Strode
       (Jamie Lee Curtis), the heroine in Halloween, is an example of a
       typical final girl.[8] Final girls are often, like Laurie
       Strode, virgins among sexually active teens.[10][/quote]

       "This is a major problem with the Western economic system in

       Of course I utterly condemn ultimately selling the ducks to be
       slaughtered, but this is still way better than using chemicals
       on the rice and raising the ducks in factory conditions; you can
       see how much the ducks enjoy farming! (Back in the Golden Age I
       am sure the ducks were allowed to stay on the Neolithic
       subsistence farm their whole lives.)

       [quote]It's been more than a decade since a group of
       African-American, Latinx, indigenous, and women farmers first
       sued the United States Department of Agriculture for its
       discriminatory lending practices in several class action
       lawsuits.
       For years, the department that provides financial support to
       farmers denied loans to women and people of color at higher
       rates than their white male counterparts. This discrimination
       helped ensure that the most profitable producers would be white
       and male, and nearly drove African-American farmers off their
       land: Between 1910 and 2007, black farmers lost 80 percent of
       their farmland, in part because they lacked access to loans or
       insurance.
       According to a new report from the U.S. Government
       Accountability Office, very little has changed. Congress'
       non-partisan investigative agency found that women and
       minorities—who already comprise a disproportionately small share
       of U.S. farmers—have a harder time obtaining loans and credit
       from private lenders and banks regulated by the USDA, and from
       the department itself. Often, these loans make the difference in
       whether a farmer can afford to keep an operation running, or
       whether beginning farmers—often recent immigrants—can break into
       the business.
       John Boyd, a Virginia farmer and the founder and president of
       the National Black Farmers Association, says he was denied a
       farm operating loan this year for the first time in 17 years,
       meaning he'll now have trouble farming his 700 acres of grain.
       "It's tough—it's hard," he says. "Right now I'm farming off
       credit cards."
       Boyd is one of many black farmers who have had this experience,
       and now there's the data to prove it: From 2015 to 2017, farmers
       defined by the USDA as "socially disadvantaged"—Native Americans
       and Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, African Americans, Pacific
       Islanders, Latinxs, and women—represented 17 percent of primary
       producers, but only 8 percent of total outstanding farm debt.
       Although the USDA provides only a small portion of direct
       payments, it also oversees loans from commercial banks, which
       have historically courted white men. "The top 10 percent of
       large-scale farmers, corporate farmers, they're very clearly
       white men—they aren't women, they aren't people of color," Boyd
       says. "That's who's been getting the service. That's who's been
       getting the loans."
       For Boyd, whose organization represents more than 109,000
       farmers in 42 states, these findings validate what he's known
       for decades. "It's new information for a lot of people who have
       been denying it for so long, especially the top 10 banks," he
       says.[/quote]

       [quote]De Leña is one of several first-generation Asian American
       farmers who left their more traditional career paths for
       full-time farming on the West Coast. De Leña, who once worked at
       environmental justice nonprofits, found new meaning in growing
       food as a means of cultural reclamation.
       ...
       The United States Census of Agriculture shows that Asian
       Americans made up less than 1 percent of the farming population
       in the United States in 2017. More than 95 percent of the
       full-time operators in the U.S. are white. These numbers stand
       in contrast to the 19th and early 20th century, when Asian
       American farmers were ubiquitous. The drastic demographic shift
       started with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and later grew
       in 1913, when the California Alien Land Law prohibited Asian
       Americans from owning land. Between 1920 and 1930 alone,
       Japanese-owned farmland dropped by more than 40 percent.
       Mai Nguyen, a first-generation Vietnamese American farmer with
       the National Young Farmers Coalition, said structural racism and
       discrimination against Asian American farmers and other farmers
       of color persist today.
       “There's high segregation based on race and ethnicity in our
       rural spaces,” Nguyen said. “While there are large populations
       of Asian American farmers, they're segregated in a way that
       they're not as visible as our white counterparts.” Nguyen said
       this lack of visibility harms older Asian American farmers who
       are denied access to markets, land and resources as a result.
       ...
       Nguyen said that oftentimes, young farmers of color are pushed
       into “marginal land,” or smaller and more affordable tracts of
       land, since prime farmland is typically owned by white farmers
       with several generations of resources and access to
       capital.[/quote]

       A flash of sanity:

       [quote]ROME, May 5 (Reuters) - Italy plans to give work permits
       to thousands of irregular migrants to help farms deal with the
       Covid-19 epidemic that has cut the flow of cheap labour from
       abroad, a political source said on Tuesday.
       ...
       Agriculture lobbies have warned Italy will have to throw away
       huge amounts of fruit and vegetables because there is nobody to
       pick them, worsening the effects of a shutdown costing the food
       sector 7 billion euros ($7.58 billion).
       The influx of seasonal workers to help on farms has been halted
       by the block on travel into Italy since its outbreak came to
       light in February. It has so far killed more than 29,000 people.
       Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese is ready to offer temporary
       permits to some 200,000 irregular migrants currently jobless or
       living in the shadow economy, to work in agriculture, the
       ministry source told Reuters.
       The move is also intended to help in the fight against the
       coronavirus. "If someone falls ill we need to test them and it's
       difficult to do this if we don't even know their name," the
       source said.[/quote]
       What our enemies think:
       [quote]"They are working on a huge legalization of irregular
       migrants ... madness, we will try to stop them in any way,"
       League leader and former Interior Minister Matteo Salvini wrote
       on Twitter.[/quote]
       Salvini probably prefers Jones' approach?

       In South Korea, Natural Farming has been embraced by the South
       Korean government after one county experimented and every farmer
       in the county practiced it for a year. These rice farmers not
       only had bigger yields than usual, but saved money on their
       inputs and sold their rice for a premium. Where they practice
       Natural Farming it has had the added benefit of cleaning up the
       waterways, rivers and even coastal
       waters.
