Thats a communist idea. I'm guessing you don't own land, bet you would think different if you worked and had bought land. Another taker in society!

OP your friend is so fucking right but you americans are so well brainwashed that McCarthyism zombies will cry for communism even when 0,5% will own your land, wifes and homes, they'll keep to suck up the neo-liberal propaganda.

Re: 5% own americas farmland - farmland should be siezed by the state and turned into communal collective farms!
A democrat/socialist friend of mine today explained to me that just 5% of the people in this country now own 100% of the farmland.

He said that farmland should be siezed by the state and turned into communal collective farms.

This would allow people to leave the congested cities and live blissful rural lives working on state owned collective farms.

That many humans with hoes can do the work now being done by polluting tractors that destroy the earth.

He told me to imagine sitting around a campfire after a hard days honest work on the farm, singing, laughing with the other workers. A carefree life the way nature intended instead of being penned up in some office cubical in a high stress city job.

If my collective village has 2000 people, and only 500 are invloved in farming, thats still 25% of the people, eliminating the need for tractors and alot of modern equipment

Your friend doesn't know either farming or his history. Cuba and other countries learned the hard way -- communes and government ownership of farms did not work, they had to go back to a combination of many smaller farms and a few larger ones.

OP, ask your friend if he's familiar with the concept of serfdom. That's what he's advocating.

The better response would be to go the any farmer and say "I know Permaculture and I can make more money from 5 of your 1000 gazillion acres then you make on 1" and have a bet. If you make more then him in after 3 years...you get as much land as you want (no more then you need to make enough money to spend most of your time hanging out with your friends and family).
No stealing, betting you have a better design system. Simple. Permaculture is sweeping the 3rd world...

Look at Rwanda, Zimbabwe and South Africa for shining examples of successful land redistribution schemes.

You, OP, are an Idiot.

Why do you think the Mexican Immigrants are all in your country fool. Cause you guys won't do the work cause its real work. Fools.

Add North Korea to State Run Farms. How many of them are starving to death. 80% percent of the Country.

If that is your ideal life you are free to seek out others with the same philosophy and devise a plan to make it so. Having the government force it upon everyone is a different topic though.

OP have your friend stay with an Amish family for 2 weeks over the summer. After about a week he will run to his nearest climate controlled Starbucks and start to plot how the government can force the Amish to modernize. For their own good...
