Fair enough.

It took ages for the comments to load otherwise I wouldn't have asked because you've already answered.

I think you should go all in on your own grapes.

Save the money you would have spent buying extra grapes and spend it on expending your vineyard.

Maybe start making a cider or something else if you want to give your customers more variety

When he met up with Trump and Trump seemed to be in love with him, that should have been enough for people to stop trusting him.

I have a hard time taking progressive liberals who call themselves democratic socialists seriously anyway.

It needs your location to work?

Doesn't that defeat the whole privacy aspect?

Remember, that communism is defined as "stateless" so when a "communist party" takes power and makes economic reforms that's actually just socialism.

Socialism, at least as far as communists think is a necessary step to achieve communism.

None have been successful.

Personally I think that Libya prior to the NATO invasion had the best political system in practice; direct democracy.

I'm an anarchist, but I keep an open mind, no system is perfect.

Theres always some compromise.

For communists the compromise is "temporary" "authoritarian socialism"

But the "outside threats" never go away, they can't transition into communism until all the worlds governments adopt socialism, so it never happens, or it almost happens and they get invaded.

Cuba has some of the best food sovereignty for such a small landmass, they import a lot of rice but all the fresh produce and most of the meat comes from local community gardens.

They're under the harshest sanctions on earth, only a handful of countries trade with them because USA threatens to attack those who trade with them.

Like how USA recently stole an oil tanker from Venezuela because the oil was sold to Cuba already.

The same applies to food and all basic necessities, China Vietnam and a few other countries in South America trade with them despite the threat of military intervention.

The fact they have survived this long against the largest military empire the world has ever witnessed is a testament to their strength as a people, education and healthcare are free, they produce the most doctors per capita on earth and supply medical aid to many other countries in Africa and South America.

They preserve and celebrate their own culture instead of adopting consumerism like other "socialist" countries.

We should really look to Cuba for answers to address our own problems, their local politics is far more democratic and gives people far more say over their own communities, they accept plenty of refugees but those refugees integrate and assimilate to their culture with little resistance.

The world’s largest organic farming experiment took place in Cuba during the early 1990s. In the 1980s, the island’s economy had hinged upon trade with the Soviet Union.

The collapse of the latter meant the end of high-input agriculture for Cuba.

The island was forced to transition almost overnight from an industrial food system that relied heavily on agrochemicals and imports to a self-sustaining, agroecological, local approach to food production.

During the “Special Period” that followed, thousands of popular urban gardens emerged out of necessity.

The grassroots response to the food shortages brought about by the loss of trade with the Soviet Union soon received formal government support.

Today, the country is widely considered a pioneer in urban agriculture.

As stated in research led by Professor Miguel Altieri, 50% of the fresh food on the island is produced in urban agricultural settings.

I think if someone else shares your notes it goes to whatever relays they use, the relay I mentioned earlier is free to read so I can see things on there but can't comment directly on that relay.

You'll probably be less visible to people who don't already follow you but I think people who already follow you should still see you on their normal feed.

Probably depends what client other people are using too, so many intricacies.

No you.

I can tell you are projecting, and you're scared, we're going to find you.

We know where you are.

You are leaking metadata all over the place.

Just trying to work out your identity and find someone in the area to do it.

Your days are numbered.

You won't make it to prison to be sodomized so you don't need to worry about that, just a random teenager on the street stabbing you to death is all you need to worry about.

Good thing I'm illiterate

There was a group of children, one had a fishing rod, I asked him where he got it from, they must have thought I was accusing them of stealing it from someone because the one holding the rod awkwardly said "I don't know" then they ran away like they thought I was going to take it from them.

Really is no where to buy fishing gear around here.

It's bizarre, there's so many good fishing spots within a couple hours drive of the town, huge water storage dams that allow boats, rivers with camping areas on the banks etc.
