and if it does and supply chains are broken, then that fridge full of food may be something that you regret not being grateful for.
the "miracle' that is western society
Who produces the coconut milk and shaved coconut in your fridge?
It's a guy with a patch of Indonesian garden that's who. They grew coconuts that way when right wing feudal barons made peasants grow peas next to the castle in England.
Criticism should always be about separating the wheat from the chaff
Sure the Western capitalist system has made some errors
But drought resistant wheat
Developed by capitalist corporations in America
Has probably saved 500 million people from starvation
India is now a net exporter of food
That is all thanks to the noble corporation
Monsanto
New farm
Bayer
John Deere
Hastings deering
Rather than mope around in Central park
With some ill-defined movement like occupy wall Street
It would actually be better for the ungrateful socialists
To go on a sabbatical to Kenya Ethiopia or the Punjab
And see the smiling faces of well-fed people
And then come back to America
Head to the corporate office of Monsanto
And kneel down and weep tears of joy
For all the good they have done in the world
