    An unnecessary comparison. I'm talking about 1 in 40 Chinese people facing hunger, this has absolutely nothing to do with America.

      It does because you're claiming that the system that America is the best example of: letting the free market run food security, is superior to what China is doing. This is an incorrect statement as proven by statistics.

        Putting words in my mouth.

        Also you used a different metric from the metric I used. China and America have the exact same (2.5%) hunger rate using the same source. Typical Hexbear lying.

            There is no other way to interpret this comment other than demanding the farmer(s) sell the product of their choice at the market, favoring the individual over the collective here.

            The government could make them grow green rice but give them extra money to make up for it. Farmers deserve fair pay. Of course, the millionaires and billionaires of the CCP wouldn't want that.

                            a state sincerely working towards resolve its internal contradictions

                            Then immediately ban billionaires and redistribute the wealth. Not too fucking hard it's a dictatorship they can do whatever they want.

                  No, like the implication that the government wont subsidizing or give benefits to the farmers who grow green rice. Because it sounds made up tbh
