So is the meme about the U.S. switching to the USSR because the U.S. ran out of food to provide to people like what literally happened in the USSR?

Conquest of bread predates the USSR but I suspect Kropotkin wouldn’t be a fan

There was food stability in the USSR, just like any developing country it became more food secure as it developed. The only way the US would become less food secure if it collectivized agriculture would be if it also destroyed all of its infrastructure.

Plus, the title refers to an Anarchist title. This is a meme that aligns more with Anarchism than Marxism-Leninism.
