Soil requires fertilizer regardless, every harvest you export nutrients out of the soil that need to be replenished. The main purpose of crop rotation is to avoid proliferetion of diseases and pests.
Yes they do, still it's not sufficient enough to replenish what is needed. Agriculture is an open loop system, it requires external inputs to continue to operate. Without external inputs, agriculture turns into minery.
There has to be a balance, we need to understand that as long as we export harvests out of the field we need to import nutrients into the field. We can't expect plants to naturally replenish the nutrients that we unnaturally extract.
Also we need to understand that when we introduce heavy machinery into a field, we need heavy machinery to break compaction. Plants and soil organisms simply cannot naturally break the compaction caused by our unnaturally heavy machinery that is heavily concentrated in the small contact area of a tire.
Some of these dogmatic beliefs lead to "regenerative" farmers being more extractivists than the industrial farmers they demonize.
We will see a temporarily stall in the dedollarization process because EU is cannibalizing itself to keep the dollar afloat, by buying expensive US energy + increasing military spending, but they can't hide that their living standards are crumbling by the day.
The EU oligarchs would gladly sacrifice their countries and cause yet another war in their territories to keep this shit going.
Increased US sponsored terrorism to strong arm countries, coup unaligned countries and prop up pro-US puppets (see Milei or Noboa) to keep dollar influence and force them to take anti-China stances.
Wheat is a commodity like any other crop, and just like any other commodity, it has value. Also it’s even more profitable when its stolen since you don’t even have to invest in production costs.
A couple of things you must understand before talking about “AnCap”:
The state, in this day and age, is run by the capitalist class.
“The state is, therefore, by no means a power forced on society from without; just as little is it ’the reality of the ethical idea’, ’the image and reality of reason’, as Hegel maintains. Rather, it is a product of society at a certain stage of development; it is the admission that this society has become entangled in an insoluble contradiction with itself, that it has split into irreconcilable antagonisms which it is powerless to dispel. But in order that these antagonisms, these classes with conflicting economic interests, might not consume themselves and society in fruitless struggle, it became necessary to have a power, seemingly standing above society, that would alleviate the conflict and keep it within the bounds of ’order’; and this power, arisen out of society but placing itself above it, and alienating itself more and more from it, is the state.” - The origin of the family, private property and the state by Engels
Now to answer your questions:
Can you explain exactly why do you think that AnCap society would not have ownership ?
I didn’t say that. How would it be capitalism if the capitalist themselves didn’t exist? The characteristic of the capitalist class is that it has private ownership of production, it pockets the products of the processes of production. How is this ownership enforced? With violence, laws are made to protect these relations of production and when broken violence is used to enforce them. Who enforces this ownership? The state, through police and military.
Also can you compare that to the current system in real life?
“AnCaps” want the same society we have but without the state, in their twisted mind the state is some commie plot and must be gotten rid of.
What would happen if the state magically disappears? There would be no one to enforce private property, the capitalists would have to enforce these relations themselves by turning into some sort of warlords, imagine a world where each capitalist needs a private army to enforce their property (who would stop their army itself of taking over?), it is literally going back to the past it is comically dumb.
Another point is that AnCaps are grifters, see Milei in argentina for example. He claimed to be an AnCap but he is doing everything in its power to turn argentina into a police state run by the US!
In those two months, the Milei government has signed a memorandum of understanding with the United States allowing members of the US Army Corps of Engineers to operate along the Paraná-Paraguay Waterway, including large parts of the river Plata basin, upon which roughly 80% of all Argentine exports travel. It has agreed to buy $300 million of second-hand, 40-year-old F-16 fighters from Denmark, with the help of US financing. It has also announced the establishment of a US naval base in Ushuaia, on the southern tip of Tierra de Fuego, often described as the last stop before Antarctica.
Accused of selling out his country’s sovereignty for seemingly nothing in return, Milei argued, with a straight face, that allowing the installation of a US military base in Usuahia is the greatest act of sovereignty of the past 40 years since it will strengthen Argentina’s territorial claims over the Antarctic.
They will lose either way, but they’d have less debts to paid and less things to rebuild.
Also Ukraine will benefit from denazification, the ultranationalism pushed by the ukranian nationalists only brings zero-sum situations for Ukraine and its neighbours not just Russia.
The global majority prefers multipolarity than the US hegemony, the US has spent decades destabilizing our countries while China has developed win-win respectful relationships.
The US has military bases in countries that you do not know they exist, spends more in war than the redt of the world combined and has killed exponentially more people than anyone else.
Surely the Ukranian people had much control on the decisions made by the puppet goverment after the 2014 coup 😂 surely the Ukranian people must’ve enjoyed the increase in military budget, that surely increased their living standards data.worldbank.org/indicator/MS.MIL.XPND.ZS?end=2…

Shoot the nazis, establish a dictatorship of the proletariat, establish capital controls and develop the productive forces so the material conditions that lead to fascism don’t come back.

I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I’d rather hear about things that are actually happening.
