I like the idea of “Victory Gardens” but not as an adjunct to the adventure in socialism that the author intends it to be.
For those who have the space and the minimal talent to raise some of your own food, I think you’d be a fool not to do so. And it’s precisely because of socialism’s impact that it makes sense. You do not want to be in a situation where you have no access to an alternative supply if there is a natural disaster, or even a political disaster where food becomes a scarce or rationed commodity. Those few notso hotso looking tomatoes you grow will look like a bonanza if you otherwise can’t get them.
I also think it’s a good idea to have a few month supply of food stored regardless. Natural and economic disasters do happen.
Interesting debate on Victory Gardens. I don't like that the left is trying to hijack the concept, but I still think they make sense. Thoughts?
