Someone's planning a socialist takeover and they didn't invite me? 😒️

It's all the Nigerian princes and life insurance salesman you didn't reply to.

There's no way cans of cat food are cheaper then buying rice and dry beans in 50 lb bags

[–] BloodSlut@lemmy.world 80 points 10 months ago

rice and beans are vegetarian, which is exactly what the socialsits want!!1

Yeah but that requires you to have a functioning brain in order to prepare them. Andrew here seems like the type who needs his food to come ready to eat.

If it ain't an MRE and you are busy cooking you aren't gonna be ready when the commies kick down your bomb shelter door and take your guns! And also cooking is for women.

Often my cats get more expensive food than me.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 1 points 10 months ago

I'm gonna save so much money once I teach my cat to cook.

What makes you think they will still produce that cat food once the socialists take over?

[–] appel@lemmy.ml 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Presumably Andrew intends to stockpile the cans of cat food he deems acceptable.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Then he should also taste test cans that are 4-5 years old.

And avoid the bulging ones, if he is smart enough..., or else it's dying from botulism to own the libs.

[–] anarchist@lemmy.ml 17 points 10 months ago

Yeah. Would't the rich be enough food for cats for a while?

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

(in Homer Simpson voice ) Oh Honytawk, don't be silly. Socialistes still love their pets, duh !

As a cat owner, wet food by the ounce is hella expensive. Even if you got processed minute rice and wet beans in envelopes its cheaper.

For those actually curious how community run agriculture works in a socialist system, look up the OrganopΓ³nicos of Cuba which was organized during the special time after the collapse of the Soviet Union. tldr: At the time the USSR collapsed, Cubas farms focused on supplying sugar for the whole Soviet Union and was unprepared when supplies ceased coming in. Cubans averaged a lost of about 10-15 pounds per citizen during the intermediary time while they reorganized into the community garden system Cuba has today.

My friend likes to eat cat food and she's a Communist.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Apparently, capitalists, as They Might Be Giants once said, wake up and smell the cat food in their bank accounts.

[–] Sylver@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Eating cat food to own the Libs? Meeee-ow!
