Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

The argument "food is free in nature and should therefore be free" isn't a good argument. There is however one to be made for "with the level of technological advancement we've achieved at present, food shouldn't be as inaccessible as it currently is"
Fascinating study. I'll keep this in my repertoire of anti-capitalist arguments
Yeah, but look, it would make shareholders sad! We can't do that, can we?
It would be impossible under capitalism, good thing there is another way
Right, but I have seen massive arguments on Lemmy over this topic. The argument you made is actually well thought out and makes sense, while the one I mentioned is stupid and doesn't withstand even the smallest amount of basic thought.
