People also trying to own Luna by pointing out that her family used to be landlords and now have 500 square meters of farmland, and… good? That’s called land reform.

Lol no they’re uh… “Socialists” and as far as I can tell they think that Vietnam should have just murdered her family or something.

Aren’t these the same people who cry about Mao killing 100 bazillion landlords? There’s really no winning with them

a group of people who would most likely have deserved nothing.

Some real sins of the father stuff there. Maybe the parents were landlords, but even if they don’t ‘deserve’ their own fair share (and they do, because everyone does), their daughter does.

It was her father’s father, the same man who joined the NVA, later was tortured by the CPV for owning land, something Ho Chi Minh publicly apologized for in tears, was reinstated, and went right back to serving the revolution, dying in battle. He does not need any “forgiveness” or kudos from us, he did what we haven’t and paid the ultimate price of his own accord so his people could be free

edit: look up the “rectification of errors” campaign for details on how mistakes had been made concerning land reform, and had to be massively overhauled in the late 50s

Are you sure it’s not? The “omniliberall” part was the giveaway for me. I’m almost positive this is him because his girfriend melina follows this account and it’s constantly making references to destiny stuff. He increasingly makes the new accounts more absurd so twitter doesn’t know it’s him

If you look close there are two ii’s – @omniiliberal vs @omniliberal, and destiny still appears to be active on the one i one here https://twitter.com/theomniliberal

I guess it could be a backup alt, but take a look at this video and this image post, if it’s him, he must have some sort of sadism/humiliation fetish because these definitely aren’t pro-destiny posts. Liv, Keffals, and few other for sure marxist friends follow them as well. It’s just weird all around, with the stuff like the Pol Pot posting. There are things that are so deep in the communist/anarchist struggle genre that I don’t think Destiny would be aware of or care about

What the fuck is that? I’m only aware of Ho Chi Minh City in that region.

These morons think 500m² means a field of 500mx500m. It’s literally just basic math. Absolute smooth brains.

for farming purposes 500 square metres is 0.123553 acres and an acre is roughly how much land one man with a wooden plough and a team of oxen can plough in a day.

that’s around 1500 feet, right? something to the effect of a quarter square mile, if I’m not wrong. That’s not enough land to get rich off of, especially if she’s growing rice.

A quarter square mile is 160 acres, which is a lot of farmland and in america owning it would make you upper middle class, enough money to be a beautiful boater at least. what luna has is about an eighth of acre, which isn’t enough for even subsistence farming.

500m^2 is just smaller than 22.5x22.5 meters. It’s like 30 steps to walk across the entire thing.

65% is too high if you factor in how many people are in perma-debt for their houses. The banks own more homes than people I’m sure.

Ah yes, thanks to nepotism she has… a square of 22 meters side in the middle of nowhere.

Dude you can buy a whole hectare (10000 m2) of fertile soil for 10k-20k USdollars. In the middle of nowhere, of course.

Then purchasing a plot like this should cost 1k US dollars including taxes, shenanigans and shit. That’s it.

If the revolution never happens, I’d like to at least buy an hectare to plant trees so they can throw my corpse there.

Edit: Fuck, cropland it’s even cheaper in the US: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiK8ZiY7Iv0AhU0GbkGHTzNDiAQFnoECBAQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nass.usda.gov%2FPublications%2FTodays_Reports%2Freports%2Fland0821.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3NuVYpkZeYP_q7MtiYuuL4

Idk man, I’m actually surprised how cheap farmland is in the US. Of course nobody sells anything smaller than 100 acres but what the heck a lot of weirdos would like to have a piece of land to plant trees and call “theirs” (I mean, weirdos like me)

Farmland is cheap because modern farming capital is insanely expensive (machinery, chemicals, transpo and storage). Less infrastructure out in the boonies also keeps the price low. I am a city slicker myself so don’t take my word for it, but the profit margins for small farmers have been shrinking and shrinking for decades so only giant ag corpos can compete. That’s not to mention the bullshit that large ag companies put onto small farmers to squeeze any small profit they have out of them. I’m talking John Deere prevent workers from repairing their tractors or Monsanto copyrighting seeds genetic code then suing for profits when their seeds naturally spread to small farms.
