What are you talking about? "In 2020, family farms accounted for 98% of total farms and 87% of total production. 89% of those farms were small family farms"[1].
“Likewise, the share of the value of production on small family farms declined from 26% to 20%.”
This and other resources keep pointing out that large scale family farms which are corporations at that point are nearly half. Then non family farms are another fraction like 20%-ish. Then not all of the “families” owning the farms even farm their own land. That’s only 51% of farmers doing that full time.
So 40%+ are landlords. Adam Smith the father of capitalism and Karl Marx and Engels all believed landlords are unethical and antithetical to capitalism or any economic system.
Even if the OP was wrong, your response is similar. Can we get some specifics of the actual finances?
Otherwise this is all propaganda for the US seeming more fair and equitable than it really is. Adam Smith would be rolling in his grave.
Except GP mentioned ownership and when presented with ownership stats we find ourselves talking about value production.
It comes across as a conclusion in search of evidence. What's happening is goal shifting.
I strongly believe that when a commenter makes an inaccurate claim, the bare minimum is pointing out the factual error. I'm under no obligation to speculate what the commenter really meant. I took them at face value - a completely fair approach. If they wish to clarify, or make a better argument, that's on them.
We are intelligent adults here. We don’t have to pretend my statements were these fallacies. A fallacy is a fallacy eventually.
It’s possible I’m too autistic to understand why you are behaving the way you are. Your behavior and defensive mechanism baffles me if it’s in good faith. When I got into politics I spent a long time looking over all sides and never ever thought things like what you wrote. I always thought looking for the truth is the best thing.
For me it doesn’t make sense in my world view to be pedantic the way you are behaving. It’s a rather traditional autistic behavior though. I know i spend a lot of time masking to seem more normal and not be so pedantic).
In my eyes class is the only thing that matters. Do you not believe in material dialectics? Your views sound very libertarian from my reading on those politics. I don’t believe in private property so we will have to disagree on caring about ownership.
