I'm very smart.
People also trying to own Luna by pointing out that her family used to be landlords and now have 500 square meters of farmland, and... good? That's called land reform.
Lol no they're uh... "Socialists" and as far as I can tell they think that Vietnam should have just murdered her family or something.
Aren't these the same people who cry about Mao killing 100 bazillion landlords? There's really no winning with them
a group of people who would most likely have deserved nothing.
Some real sins of the father stuff there. Maybe the parents were landlords, but even if they don't 'deserve' their own fair share (and they do, because everyone does), their daughter does.
It was her father's father, the same man who joined the NVA, later was tortured by the CPV for owning land, something Ho Chi Minh publicly apologized for in tears, was reinstated, and went right back to serving the revolution, dying in battle. He does not need any "forgiveness" or kudos from us, he did what we haven't and paid the ultimate price of his own accord so his people could be free
edit: look up the "rectification of errors" campaign for details on how mistakes had been made concerning land reform, and had to be massively overhauled in the late 50s
I can see that feeling, but I feel like it is almost something you can do out of spite: "Despite all your cruelty and disregard for other people, we will be better than you and demonstrate how decent humans act. Fuck you."
Also it's generally just the right thing to do. Disempoewring and reforming people is morally just and more effective for long-term stability.
People from the USA are in no position to criticize who others parents are lol.
Don't throw stones in glass houses and all that
I didn't even notice when I saw that post earlier, but I think it is actually Destiny on another new accountnvm has to be a parody account
Are you sure it's not? The "omniliberall" part was the giveaway for me. I'm almost positive this is him because his girfriend melina follows this account and it's constantly making references to destiny stuff. He increasingly makes the new accounts more absurd so twitter doesn't know it's him
If you look close there are two ii's -- @omniiliberal vs @omniliberal, and destiny still appears to be active on the one i one here https://twitter.com/theomniliberal
I guess it could be a backup alt, but take a look at this video and this image post, if it's him, he must have some sort of sadism/humiliation fetish because these definitely aren't pro-destiny posts. Liv, Keffals, and few other for sure marxist friends follow them as well. It's just weird all around, with the stuff like the Pol Pot posting. There are things that are so deep in the communist/anarchist struggle genre that I don't think Destiny would be aware of or care about
u know what I can't do this I need an ibuprofen. I used to have a morbid interest in his content until he had that "It's okay to say the n word in private" debate and I just couldn't do it anymore
Oh so you missed the whole “it’s good to run over protesters with your car if they’re blocking the road” saga
Yeah I don't know too much about him personally because I always tried to avoid perceiving him whenever possible lol
Saigon
What the fuck is that? I'm only aware of Ho Chi Minh City in that region.
edit: Nevermind, I looked it up and I think it's just Hamilton for Boomers.
Big "Dirka dirka Mohammed Jihad!" energy, except the South Park ephebophiles were being pricks on purpose. The Broadway libs are "only" wilfully ignorant of their racism.
My God. The sheer amount of racism displayed by radlibs on Twitter in response to this. None of these losers have ever worked in a field. They shoulf shut up.
Pea-brained idealist Americans using their full brain power to work out how big 500 square meters is and still failing.
These morons think 500m² means a field of 500mx500m. It's literally just basic math. Absolute smooth brains.
for farming purposes 500 square metres is 0.123553 acres and an acre is roughly how much land one man with a wooden plough and a team of oxen can plough in a day.
Communism replaces football with ice hockey, tennis with pingpong and competitive gaming with cooperatively throwing nazis down a mineshaft.
It's called a worker's revolution, not a peasant revolution, shake my head Ho, read Marx, start with the Grundrisse
that's around 1500 feet, right? something to the effect of a quarter square mile, if I'm not wrong. That's not enough land to get rich off of, especially if she's growing rice.
A quarter square mile is 160 acres, which is a lot of farmland and in america owning it would make you upper middle class, enough money to be a beautiful boater at least. what luna has is about an eighth of acre, which isn't enough for even subsistence farming.
500m^2 is just smaller than 22.5x22.5 meters. It’s like 30 steps to walk across the entire thing.
If each step was 3 meters it would take only 8 to walk from one end to the other.
Woah. Cuba is cancelled. Full of petit bourgeois. My kween also said the govt is evil authoritarian too :so-true:
65% is too high if you factor in how many people are in perma-debt for their houses. The banks own more homes than people I'm sure.
Ah yes, thanks to nepotism she has... a square of 22 meters side in the middle of nowhere.
Dude you can buy a whole hectare (10000 m2) of fertile soil for 10k-20k USdollars. In the middle of nowhere, of course.
Then purchasing a plot like this should cost 1k US dollars including taxes, shenanigans and shit. That's it.
If the revolution never happens, I'd like to at least buy an hectare to plant trees so they can throw my corpse there.
Edit: Fuck, cropland it's even cheaper in the US: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiK8ZiY7Iv0AhU0GbkGHTzNDiAQFnoECBAQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nass.usda.gov%2FPublications%2FTodays_Reports%2Freports%2Fland0821.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3NuVYpkZeYP_q7MtiYuuL4
It's ridiculously cheap what the fuck is going on?
Idk man, I'm actually surprised how cheap farmland is in the US. Of course nobody sells anything smaller than 100 acres but what the heck a lot of weirdos would like to have a piece of land to plant trees and call "theirs" (I mean, weirdos like me)
turns out, living with no infrastructure or services (like electricity, communications, or paved roads) blows. even freaks like me who enjoy subsistence agriculture and crunchy living have our limits.
a small plot of land zoned for a homesite within a 30 minute drive of a store and an hour of a hospital is considerably more expensive than the average "per acre" value of prime ag land of massive lots in the unincorporated community of West Jerkwater, Iowa.
is it cheaper than an apartment in NYC? sure. but the price point of a homestead in the US is by no means "cheap" globally, especially because other (normal) countries have programs to create paths to land in small farming communities.
we just let those communities collapse into diseases of despair as large holders swallow up small farms falling into bankruptcy and suicide.

Hi, I'd like one normal country, please :doomjak:
Of course. I don't mean for people to move to homesteads
and stop wearing glasses, I just think it's weird that buying useless land *somewhere* just to flex it isn't "a thing".
Owning a piece of forest is way cooler flex than tungsten cubes or even fucking Teslas, but idk, I don't pay for jpgs
Man I heard you could buy a tungsten dice or whatever, and I thought about buying one because like, that's kind of neat to have a surprisingly heavy little marble thing
But apparently its this insane Crypto-bro-Elon-simp-Libertarian cult practice, like the weight gives them some kind of spiritual awakening, and they just started selling NFTs that let you touch a large heavy cube once a year -- literally just reinventing the Hajj, like,
Farmland is cheap because modern farming capital is insanely expensive (machinery, chemicals, transpo and storage). Less infrastructure out in the boonies also keeps the price low. I am a city slicker myself so don't take my word for it, but the profit margins for small farmers have been shrinking and shrinking for decades so only giant ag corpos can compete. That's not to mention the bullshit that large ag companies put onto small farmers to squeeze any small profit they have out of them. I'm talking John Deere prevent workers from repairing their tractors or Monsanto copyrighting seeds genetic code then suing for profits when their seeds naturally spread to small farms.
I always think about buying a little chunk of land somewhere and just going out to camp and read for a while.
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
It's literally a 22 meter by 22 meter (73 feet by 73 feet) square of land. That's almost nothing for farming lol. The people freaking out about it either don't understand what square metres are, or don't know how farming works.
Americans thinking it's square miles and mistaking Luna's garden for a kulak farm
It's always funny to me when someone is says things like "the family is connected to the party in power" or similar. Like what you don't think people with connections should have anything? Ok fine Implement such a policy in any western country.
Sorry you're dad was friends with a state senator who was a member of the party in power. You may no longer own any land.
Sorta the same vibes as calling police in non western countries "state security forces" and every government that doesn't kneel a "regime"
state security forces in the American regime violently suppressed protests about brutality
Petit-bourgeois is when you have 1/8 of an acre of land that you work yourself and with your family.
Marx and Engels main plan was to just be like "wow, look at this working class thing. Doesn't it suck? Wow damn it do be like that sometimes"
communism is when you live in absolute destitution to prove your moral virtue
Notably, 99% of the people shitting on Luna live in the most consumptive nation in human history. Destitution for thee, not for me.
So how much rice can you grow on one of these things? Like do people actually work the land and eat what they grow, or do they like, lease it to farmers in return for some of the profit?
Rice yields vary wildly around the world but Vietnam averages about 6 tonnes per hectare, so you can probably get 300kg of rice from 500m2 of land. So not enough to really live on, although if they are in a very productive region that amount could be doubled.
According to the thread, one of her aunts in the village works the land becuase she moved to the city and she dosen't get any kind of rent from her aunt.
Not enough to feed yourself for a year. Speaking from experience. It's a small land.
It's barely any land, probably only enough for subsistence farming. Luna and her family work the plot.
Less than a quarter of an American football field in length. So you could hunt and farm and have the majority of your staple food ingredients be from your land. But a slim majority. You’d still be going to the market regularly
What the heck can you hunt on such a small slice of land? Mice?
You can shoot the deer on your neighbor's land and then just go get it because communism means that's also your land
I mean, whatever ungulate is popular over there, I'm not an animal scientist.
I’m not an animal scientist.
You say that but you know words like "ungulate". Ima hit :doubt:
My high school had a cornucopia of ag classes and then one class called "Technology Systems" and this is how they prepared us for life in the 21st century. That was Bill Clinton's America
That is Destiny the man who plays video games for and teaches 14 year olds how to be aggressively wrong about politics and he wants to throw shade about ill-begotten "wealth"?
I’m very smart.
No they're fucking not. They have NFT right in their display name lmao
It's twitch streamer destiny. He was banned from Twitter years ago and remakes constantly with a new ironic look.
Is it really? I don't know anything about him other than he seems to be one of the dumbest people online.
nah nvm it's a satire of his real account it just has an extra i that I missed. Also in regards to what you know about him; that's all you need to know.
He used to have a Marx meme avatar. He's now doing a bit to cover how hard he's getting owned.
