    Because you are worth nothing except as a part of the glorious workers’ paradise. The great soviet has determined the appropriate corn and you were outvoted, so you don’t get to pick the corn because The Party has determined which corn produces the most bushels per acre for the glory of the socialist republic.

    (I’m an anarchist.)

      This is such a cartoonishly bad caricature of socialism, democracy, and agriculture in general. What’s your point? Is your conception of anarchism one that doesn’t need agricultural science? Is your strawman one that requires science to be poor if it’s done by socialists? This isn’t even how central planning works.

      If your goal is to spark a conversation around Marxist socialism vs anarchism, then you could have made at least some attempt to deliver an initial point.

      Ah, I think you may have missed the memo.

      During the last vote it was decided that we would prioritize the dignity of workers over the glory of the state. We determined that farmers can grow pretty much whatever they want as long as they’re respectful of their neighbors. Additionally as part of our agricultural department’s work they will add novel hybrids grown by farmers to our seed bank so that people will have access to a variety of crops and can choose what best suits their climate and needs. Obviously the department has recommendations for what to grow, but we’re not ignorant of the fact that all things change in time. Climate, soil quality, people’s tastes, etc.

      Also as part of our efforts we’ll try to stay ahead of outstanding circumstances such as a fungus or parasite destroying an overly relied upon crop.

      If you have any suggestions for changes please submit a pull request to our legal code in source control. To be respectful of people’s time we recommend discussing changes with neighbors and colleagues before submitting a pull request, as many problems can be resolved without involvement of the law.
