All they had to do was steal the land.

That is as concerning as it is apparent. Imagine my surprise that just buying some seeds and putting them in dirt didn't result in copious harvests. In the decades since, I have gradually pieced together some few of the basal realities fundamental to agriculture hardly any of us learn in school. I reckon such things are far more important than some speech some dead guy gave, that most all of us have learned instead, the dead guy varying depending on jurisdiction.

Thanks!

Skool's goal is not well thinking members of a community.
Chaos is the aim of the game.
Ergo, nothing practical is ever taught to the slaves as they are intended to serve, not think.

If I don't have the authority to write my rules down and force them onto you, and you don't have the authority to write your rules down and force them onto others, and neither of us can delegate an authority we don't have, where do the cops get their 'jurisdiction'?

Right where Mao said they did.

Now we live off the (devaluing) dollar.

They will turn back to it eventually.

To be fair, a large percentage of those living off the land were barely surviving off the land.
