@yogthos@lemmy.ml There was absolutely no difference in the technocratic Soviet Union either. It was all based on energy economy and once the Soviet Union peaked everything went downhill and it crashed. And you know, my grandfather built those computers and my grandmother programmed them and my mother programmed them. The ones in the Soviet Union that managed the five-year plan. Obviously on a team of people, we weren’t the only ones. So, you know, I have vested interest in it having worked, but the energy is what matters and it’s distributism that saves the day. China is more distributed than almost any other modern nation. I think India probably is one of the few that has more land distribution. And basically the more land distribution the higher the survival chances once the fossil fuels go away. In the West it’s looking since only 1 to 3% of people only land that they can grow food on maybe only 5% will survive.
@yogthos@lemmy.ml Carbon footprint is just like a globalist metric that has no bearing on the survivability of the majority of people over the next 10 to 15 years. The main metric that actually matters is land distribution. And how what percentage of the population has access to agricultural land where they can grow enough food to sustain themselves and their families. In China that number is 55%, which is very good. In Russia it’s 30%, but unfortunately it’s falling. It’s going in the wrong direction. Whereas in the West it’s 1 to 5 percent It’s quite possible many will perish the majority
