    Have you ever tried to produce food, though. It is surely not free, and I refer you to the labour theory of value (LTV) for a straightforward explanation of that.

      Food is literally free here in sweden at least, thanks to the right to roam. You have the legal right to pick mushrooms and berries in the wild.

        There is not enough wild growing food to feed the entire human population. You are welcome to live in the woods and survive on only berries and mushrooms go right ahead.

        Agriculture is hard work. Hard work has value and therefore the resulting product of agriculture (food) has value and is not free.

        I am not some capitalist pig, I generally agree with anti-work sentiment and am pro work reform. I am working class, working to live, if i dont work I’ll be homeless in 2 months. But also I realise that if you build an extremist ideology based upon blatant falsehoods like that in the posted image, it is doomed to fail.

        Would you say there are enough wild berries and mushrooms that can be foraged to sustain the population of Sweden?
