Trofim Lysenko killed the most people under Communism, through famine. Most of the deaths under communism have been due to famines and misconceptions about farming.

...and more were killed by Capitalism in the Belgian Congo and by The British East India company alone. Both of which were run as Capitalist ventures.

"Misconceptions about farming" isn't really accurate though. The farmers knew how to make food, but in both Russia and China, at least, the central government decided bullshit was as good as science and fucked around with a working system.

That being said, America also fucked up their soil so bad that they created a dustbowl with a non-zero deathtoll, and modern western farming practices are also fucking up the climate via algae blooms, pollinator killing pesticides and just straight up spewing diesel exhaust.

The problem was that they thought Lysenkoism was science. Obviously, plants would grow according to Marxist ideology because why wouldn't they?

Reactionary plants

It didn't help that Lysenko started off being right. It turns out that planting some seeds deeper does increase yields!

Clearly we should double the depth!

Capitalism brought us Brawndo, which will kill all the crops eventually.

I’ve been listening to The Fall of Civilizations podcast (it’s really good, especially if you enjoy history). I just finished an ep yesterday on the Norse colonies on Greenland and it talked about the destructive farming that occurred before they were abandoned. This was ~13th-14th centuries when they went dark. It’s not an uncommon problem, though centuries of progress make it harder to excuse / understand in the 20th.

Anyway, fascinating stuff. I wonder how we’ll be talked about in the next millennium (assuming a miracle and humanity lasts that long).

I'm about 90% certain this is a satirical post.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I'd say 100% because while funny, the insane person not even knowing how to write the names but has learned enough to know about the landlord thing? Nah

“I know absolutely dick about shit yet I still have an opinion.”

These people post things like that and look at it and go, yeah, I'm happy to put that out on the internet that's a coherent sentence, with correct punctuation and spelling.

What is wrong with them?

How do they ignore all the red squiggly lines?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Next to their real name and face as well.

It's why I know the stats of 99% literacy rates are bullshit. I've been on Facebook. Half the people in my town seem to communicate online through the text equivalent of caveman grunts.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

So the definition of literacy that they use for those stats is a super low bar. Like the bar is lying on the ground. The National Assessment of Adult Literacy defines literacy as "the ability to use printed and written information to function in society, to achieve one's goals, and to develop one's knowledge and potential." That's not a high bar to clear and the literacy rate, in the US at least, is still only about 80%.

The background is red it blended in

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

This is definitely a joke. But also, I don't fuck with Facebook anymore because it's got way too much cringe content

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

How do they ignore all the red squiggly lines?

I'm thinking these sort of people look at those lines like some sort of challenge. "No line is gonna tell me I spelled that word wrong!"

No, it's spelt Paul Paht.

Carl Mark sounds like the CEO of a cereal company

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago
[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, that well-known communist Carl Mark.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

And his fierce rival, Chairman Mow.

Let's not confuse landlords and corporations. The former are people, the later are not. They're often horrible people, but they're still made of meat; corporations are made of ink, paper, and a stubborn refusal to accept reality.

I love it. The author, Terry Bisson, used to have it on his own website, but his website seems to be gone unfortunately.

He died January 10th of this year. Too bad his website doesn't survive as a small bit of legacy.

I just got evicted after attempting to pay. Landlords are scum.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

They like it when you succeed in paying.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Ahh, so that's where the phrase "Mowed them down" came from.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

I found a pic of Curl Mark, Mow, PoPo Pot

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Dumbasses. Carl Mark was the cartoonist. If she actually knew anything about socialism, she'd know how to spell Carl Barks.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day

Looks like InsanePeopleLemmy...

Critical support

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Too obvious imo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

That has to be satire...
