Totalitarian Agriculture

s and destroy them as well as their access to food. The natural order of things in nature when it comes to food competition is exactly that: compete, but do not wage war. The very nature of totalitarian agriculture is to have productivity to the max, which then produces food surpluses to the max. Somehow we got the idea that all of the food on earth is for us. The purpose of totalitarian agriculture is to turn all of the food of the world into human food. Then there is a little something that I think should be considered. Something called cultural collapse. When I fist heard of the idea that we are headed toward a cultural collapse, I had no idea that it was going to be because of our cultures agricultural practices. But nothing could be farther from the truth. With the start of the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago, the human population started to grow at an exponential rate. Heres a table of our ascent into the modern population:Time Period10,000-5000 b.c.5000-3000b.c.3000-1400b.c.No. of Humans10million50 million100 millionTime Period1400-0b.c.0-12001200-1700No. of Humans200 million400 million800 millionTime Period1700-19001900-19601960-1996No. of Humans1.5 billion3 billion6 billion(The story of B. 261-274).As you can see, our populations doubling time is getting shorter and shorter. within the next forty years or so, there will be 12 billion people on this planet. At this rate of growth, we are in for a total cultural collapse due to OVERPOPULATION! (and we thought nuclear was going to kill us). Our planet will simply not hold that many people. Our problem is this: there are people starving around the world as well as at home in our country. The idea is to send them surplus food so they can survive. In turn that makes us produce more and more food because god forbid that we run out of surplus food. Well what happens when more food is introduced into an already overpopulated area like several areas in Africa? The population gr...
