Decentralised polycrop production and vertical gardens.

if production is private, it is in your interest to be as productive as possible because your wealth is directly proportional to your productivity
if production is collective, your main interest is to get paid by the collective, you dont care about your personal productivity, you dont care about the quality of your labor, you dont care about working, you just want to receive from the collective and you want to avoid as much work as you can avoid, the whole thing becomes an unproductive race to the bottom

Food will be produced by people who want to produce food. Most likely the people who have been producing food under capitalism and feel that's how they can contribute best.

and what if this feelings based system fails to deliver? what if everyone simply decides to consume more than they produce?
market has well known mechanics for dealing with this: you dont have the money to buy a thing, but how is socialism going to deal with this?
if that is what socialism is, i am not investing myself into socialism
besides, if you are actually capable of robots and whatnot, you'd be much better off privatizing such things and using them for yourself than sharing them with technologically illiterate worthless masses

Surely those dirt poor peasants just have to work harder right.
That is literally what occurs under capitalism. You just described alienation and wage slavery. How can you mistake socialism for the opposite thing lmfao

If you don't have enough food production you starve. Do you think people want to starve?

Hort/Ag wageslave here. Let's take a look at this topic more closely.
We all know the USSR and China fucked up big time when it came to agriculture, whether it be famine or completely destroying the local ecosystem. What can we learn from their mistakes, as well as the mistakes currently being made by industrial capitalist agriculture?
