  • It's hard for americans to shake essentialist views about race and come to a Marxist understanding –

    • Their conservatives have essentiallist racist views

    • The liberal 白左 aren't interested in coming to a correct view – "Our dogmatists are lazy-bones" – they're interested in showing off how good a person they are by howling idealist noises on social media

    Both their propaganda mills are pushing them to divide the working class based on race; getting to a correct, structuralist understanding of race is hard.

    Also Americans are insular and can't understand that the world ≠ America

    Mao is definitely the best path out: the Little Red Book, the Mass Line, On The Correct Handling of Contradictions Among The People.

    Nuts are significantly more land intensive per calorie than grains

    I don't really agree.

    Grains

    • Call oats 4 t/ha, 389 kcal/100g
    • Call rice 3.9 t/ha, 129 kcal/100g
    • Call wheat 3.5 t/ha, 389 kcal/100g

    Nuts

    • Chestnuts get 8 t/ha – https://www.fao.org/4/Y4351E/y4351e0c.htm – and have about 196 kcal/100g
    • Almonds get 4 t/ha – https://www.permaculturenews.org/2012/02/25/perennial-staple-crops-of-the-world/ – and have a mighty 578 kcal/100g
    • Hazelnuts get 2.27 t/ha (2000lb/acre is conservative) and have 628 kcal/100g

    Ranking in kcal/m²/year

    • Almond 2312
    • Chestnut 1568
    • Oats 1556
    • Hazelnut 1426
    • Wheat 1152
    • Rice 503
