There are vacant homes so if there was anarchy… People would identify and relocate to those vacant homes… By some means.
Or “if it wasn’t for this damned government, I wouldn’t be throwing away carrot skins and old leftovers, I’d be making vegetable stock and unregulated penicillin with them”.
More like if it wasn’t for this system, we wouldn’t be wasting 300,000 potatoes to make packets of chips that went into the bin when they didn’t sell compared to the more advertised brand.
More like if it wasn’t for this system, my toaster wouldn’t conveniently break 2 weeks out of warranty, and I would have a right to repair it myself.
More like if it wasn’t for this system this empty house with squatters wouldn’t be evicted and left empty again.
Okay so we’re going to overlook the waist created by 350 million consumers disposing of unconsumed food products and focus on 150,000 lb more or less of product produced by the potato chip industry.
Odd choice but let’s start there and with actionable items. We get rid of consumer choice and advertising. Presumably we’ve now reduced potato production to the exact demand required for chips. So they’re not wasted.
How does that help anybody?
Are we reallocating that farmland to a more productive crop? Who’s in charge of that? How is it managed? I’m told anarchy is the fix but I don’t see how anarchy tackles this specific potato chip issue.
And under what system do we have zero waste potato production?
Anarchism.
If you don’t want to learn about it from memes, go do some hard reading. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/special/index
“I’m twelve and this is deep” kind of take.
“I’m a dumbarse and don’t know what anarchism is” kind of take.
See how easy it would have been to start there?
