> Industrial farming isn't environmentally friendly. It's only cheaper because the environmental damage is considered an externality. Then we regulate it. And anything you can do a large scale operation can do better :) > If everyone became a communist, you'd be desperately figuring out how to revert it? Absolutely bizarre. Why are you so obsessed with taxes? There are other, much better, ways to distribute wealth. > Is this a joke? You really expect IRS agents to seize produce from community vegetable gardens (given away freely already), and believe this is a productive use of time and resources? > Where would these vegetables go, anyway? And for what purpose? In the USSR they would take everything and redistribute it as needed. The point is that we need a way to collectively pay for things that does not depend on good will. Our IRS agents are going to take your food and distribute it to high skill workers and students that need to focus on their speciality. > hahahah are you for real dude? non-profit community food programs are tax evasion? If it's all a community garden, hope you won't mind the IRS coming to take 30%~100%.

  >In the USSR they would take everything and redistribute it as needed. lol no Please stop spouting off-topic PragerU talking points. >Our IRS agents are going to take your food and distribute it to high skill workers and students that need to focus on their speciality. Is this a joke or trolling attempt? You seem to be stuck in some weird neocon "they're going to take YOUR stuff from YOUR personal backyard!!!111" fear mindset. Permaculture is about creating sustainable food supplies in a distributed manner. Those students and high skill workers will be able to gather this food themselves, because it will be ubiquitous, freely available, and local. >If it's all a community garden, hope you won't mind the IRS coming to take 30%~100%. Fine by me if the IRS wants to run a garden-to-doorstep program, putting zucchini in a basket and walking it down the block. It's free for the taking anyway, because the idea is creating abundance for all. Seems like a lot of work to provide a relatively useless service IMHO. Why would the IRS be in charge of food distribution logistics, anyway? You'd think this would be rolled into USDA duties like WIC, etc.
