Animal welfare officers faced the grisly task of euthanizing more than 350,000 chickens by hand after they were left starving and cannibalizing each other when a South African state-owned poultry company ran out of money to feed them, officials said Tuesday.
I’m an anti-communist who has always been very much against government owing or controlling farms, whether it be in the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Cuba, Zimbabwe, or any other country.
The fact that the Marxist African National Congress that was elected by the voters of South Africa couldn’t figure out how to feed these 350,000 chickens on a government-run farm does not surprise me one bit.
What exactly did they think was going to happen when the government decided to take over these farms?
The Soviets always blamed low yields of agricultural products on drought. For some strange reason, that drought lasted from 1917 to 1991.
It’s happened before, like in Chile under Allende and the confiscation of General Tire plants. He promised to take the plants away from the US capitalists and give the plants to the people. Within four years, thousands of good-paying jobs disappeared because no one could maintain and repair the equipment. History is strewn with the wreckage of Socialism.
Following Zimbabwe. Farming looked real easy. Then they killed the farmers. Food desert.
Remember the small farm they created in Seattle’s CHAD zone?
No reason to take over a hellhole...
Hard to believe. That would be like leftists taking over dozens of major American cities and being totally unable to govern, leaving them with out of control crime, corruption and deficit spending in budgets while begging for more taxpayer money from states and the US. Never happen. /S
TRY A MONTH OR TWO
THE GEORGE FLOYD RIOTS IN MINNEAPOLIS:
THEY BURNED DOWN A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES IN A CONCENTRATED AREA
THEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT 93% OF THE EMPLOYEES OF THOSE BUSINESSES WERE BLACK.
“WE HAVE NO JOBS” !!!!
ZIMBABWE 3.0
WHAT???? Sell their damn eggs! Or slaughter the chickens and sell them ! Or let the chickens roam free. They’ll eat bugs. You know what. Forget it. You can’t FReepsplain anything to idjits.
This is news? The same can be said of everything else that commies take over: they are replacing one group of people who know how to utilize or produce a resource with those who skill set is political in nature. Politics produces nada absent other skill sets.
It is the perfect recipe for producing lack and shortage.
White people better get out of there. Those that haven’t been murdered by the marxist commie thugs of the ANC and Mandela cultists will be eventually. Get out and let the rest starve.

White farmers in South Africa produce:
- 95.3% of all the corn
- 96.9% of all the soybeans
- 98.7 % of all the wheat
- 97.6 % of all the cotton
- 97.2 % of all the citrus
- 99% of all the potato
- 91.4% of all the tomato
- 89% of all the wool
- 66% of all the cattle
- 95.8% of all the poultry.
Why are the black farmers not commercially producing ? They do own millions of hectares of land. Approximately 50% of all the Land area when you add state land.
Yet they want what white farmers own and sing songs about killing us.
We choke our own chickens
That place is the ‘poster coutry’ for everythign that’s wrong with Marxism
Historically commies are not good period...... (farmers.)
I’ll wait........
Leftists believe that wealth is like it was in the Donald Duck comics of the past. Rich uncle Scrooge McDuck only had to collect gold coins as they arrived at his vaults. He simply had to pile them up with his bulldozer. Leftists believe that all that is necessary for everyone to be wealthy is to equally distribute all the coins in the vault. They are totally unaware that wealth is created only when the product of labor is worth more than the cost of producing the product.
Governments only consume (destroy) wealth; they produce none. It is only the wealth producing systems that the government allows that create wealth. When these are confiscated and ‘distributed’, the only result is that all but the government elites become poor.
Goes to show how clueless the left is about taking care of themselves.
Killing people.
