:siren:POSTING CHEKA WARNING

Dolphin, I appreciate your lmao attempt. I really do. It's important for us in CSPAM to reach for higher comedy posting standards.

HOWEVER, you did an inexcusable, terrible, awful thing by insulting many members of our fine community, upstanding revolutionary socialists one and all, by denouncing them as liberals due to their dietary habits. Not only that, but you attacked a vast part of the international proletariat, with profound cultural traditions that incorporate the restriction of meat consumption.

Such a foul accusation against comrades, without substantial proof, is a poisonous, evil thing to do. But even worse than that, going by the level of this heavy charge, you must've elicited at least a couple of lmbos from me. Yet all I got was a modest chuckle. Low energy stuff. This low-grade shitposting does not benefit our community.

This warrants disciplinary action. But mercy is essential to justice; this Revolutionary Court believes in the inherent potential of every human being to bring forward the better day. Sometimes, however, they need a push to the right direction. Fortunately, as we all know, the Immortal Science can help us get there.

You must write, in 30 minutes from this post, a substantial argument in Marxist terms about why vegetarianism is incompatible with socialism. Defend your position with proper effort and energy. Final evaluation and analysis will be reserved to myself alone, but I welcome fellow members of our fine forum to voice their opinions on your piece. Failure to make a successful case will result in probation. Failing to post an argument at all will have a surprise sixer after the first one. For purposes of further clemency, making it funny and entertaining for us to read shall be a great exculpatory factor in your advantage.

I eagerly await your enlightening thoughts and/or lmaos. Good luck!

Well this is suboptimal, I just now opened this thread again

It's a fair point, and I want you to succeed. Since it's friday night and we're all in a good mood, let's reset the clock. Thirty minutes from this post!

THE ALL-POSTERS ASSEMBLY OF CSPAM, represented therein by this Idiot King, ACCUSES forums user "Dolphin" of counter-revolutionary sentiment (by denouncing vegetarians as liberals) and improper shitposting standards. Let's proceed.

Dolphin posted:

the most viable method of farming that eschews reliance on a currently insurmountable task, the seizing of the means of production, is subsistence farming, and pastoralism. individual subsistence farmers do not have the land nor means to participate in agriculture at a scale necessary to sustain the entire population of the proletariat, so refusing to consume a cow's butthole makes you more in common with the bourgeois.

An argument from the life of a subsistence rancher! True, one of the harshest conditions there is; living off the marginal soil, poor pastures and barely viable drylands. The cow's butthole was a fine flourish.

Dolphin posted:

no, much of the earth is not able to be farmed and is only viable for grazing. many of the crops necessary to support veganism and vegetarianism can only be farmed at an industrial scale.

If we are talking about the cash crop exports such as kale, quinoa and other fancy ones like that, this does hold some weight. However, what about beans? The hardy chickpea, staple of the Middle East for millenia; the reliable lentil, with other thousands of years of consumption in India; the soybean of East Asia; the black beans of South America? Or what about the quintessential and all reliable rice, cornerstone of so many world cuisines since ancient times?

Dolphin posted:

they eat milk day to day. most pastoralists do not specifically keep cows for meat, they keep them for meat, hides, dairy, horns, everything. you don't need as many males so typically the males get slaughtered when they come of age.

Dolphin posted:

in many areas of the world vegetarianism is literally impossible. in areas of kenya in the 90s pastoralists were convinced by western missionaries to abandon their cattle goats and camels in favor of tilling and planting. then the droughts came and they starved. such is the way of the west.

An important consideration that shows how different our contexts can be in our shared struggle for socialism worldwide. We truly appreciate your sober, educative collaborations in this topic. However...

Judakel posted:

also i find it very odd that you wrote about how insurmountable the task of seizing the means of production was when the task asked you explain why it was incompatible with socialism

That is, indeed, a tangent from our issued point. While we do understand the point of your association, it did deviate from what was asked.

Dolphin posted:

an individual can not seize production while eating his masters food for the same reason he cannot bind the masters hands with his own shackles. but he can engage in microeconomies that liberate him from the bonds of capitalism, and allowing him to engage in revolutionary activities like seizing the means of production.

The humble rice farmer in Southeast Asia or the potato farmers of the Andes who have formed so many revolutionary volunteers did not prove their capability to do so?

---

With proper thought given to the points raised, we must painfully state that forums user Dolphin has not provided a sufficient argument to demonstrate that socialism and vegetarianism are incompatible. Although our zeal burns bright, it is with a grieving, heavy heart that we declare your post sucks fetid rotten rear end, op. While your gigantic double bacon wrapped burger pic did elicit a lmao, it was outside your allotment of time. May your sentence be swift and your posting improved.
