Awww yes, people wanting to survive is now...oh yes, radical leftist propaganda.
@RickiTarr That’s how Ireland ended up in so called famine, Libertarianism decided land rents could be whatever they want it to be, and if people starved it would reduce the “surplus” population. Ireland was shipping more grain to the rest of the British empire than was needed to feed the entire population during the worst of the famine.Grain was the cash crop to pay rent, potatoes were grown on the crap land to feed the people. Without the potato “superfood” it just would have gone wrong sooner

@huxley @kkarhan @RickiTarr yes, another example of starvation as economic policy
