You apparently didn't read the post on "Green Cuba", otherwise you wouldn't
ask such flippant questions.

You are confused. There are no "struggles" around such questions. Mostly
what you have are desperate attempts by subsistence farmers to not be
crushed by global capitalism, such as what took place in Guatemala in the
1980s. This has zero to do with Marx's concern with the "metabolic rift".

For somebody who complains all the time about invective on PEN-L, you
should follow your own advice.

You are an abusive person.

"Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual
abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable
distribution of the populace over the country."
