Then again it's hard to measure self sufficiency in food

If you look at export vs. imports you don't look at calories

Nor potential calories that could be grown on cash crops

yes i need bannans

so make

aritifical

Then there's waste

bannana farms

well I do think they usually do the we have x people they need y calories a day, so we need z

or just the statistical well people x potatoes a year

well thats when shit is lit really

like you just want to survivie

otherwise you can have diverse nutritious diet

if britain in 1930s can figure out that they are self-sufficient we can do it today

noone can handle economy like us Iranians <:troll:795676641450917888>

although granted people are getting dumber

you dont need to be smart to plow a field

I wonder if in a modern war economy they'd cut meat for insects
That'd be kind of ironic

dont underestimate a modern farmer

don't give them ideas @Mr. Nessel

Well if it's that or famine I'd much rather have protein bars

ussr

was effectivelly

an autarky

yes

not quite

Not really

they where not even touched

by stock crisis

in 1930s

every warsaw pact country had some specific job and they traded

internally

Lend lease was absolutely necessary for radios and motorization

yes that is why western economists were fascinated about USSR

im talking before warszaw pact

and implemented planning very often

And they were near collapse at some point because of food

that was 15 years later

well after death of stalin everything started degrading

we talk about 1928

The USSR had heavy international trade during Lenin and early Stalin
