Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!
Rules:
- Absolutely no fascism, right wing extremism, genocide denial, etc.
- Unconditional support of authoritarians will not be tolerated
- Good faith discussion about ideologies is encouraged, but no sectarianism
- No brocialism/sexism
- No ableism
- No TERFs/ anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric
- No racism
- No trolling
- No insults, dunking, or personal attacks
- No posting of misinformation, disinformation, or fake news
- Mods have final say
Posting Expectations:
- Comics/memes/shitposts/propaganda are only allowed on weekends
- Try to avoid liberalism unless discussing electoral politics. Even then, try to focus on tactical agreement towards leftist goals
- Only one meta post seeking consensus per person per day
- Posts about a particular ideology are ok, but remember the rules above
- Remember that there is no “right way” to implement leftist theory. This rule does not prevent academic criticism.
- Try to avoid extremely sensitive topics unless approaching them with appropriate care for intersectionality. Use your best judgement, and be prepared to provide respectable sources when having these discussions. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source in these cases.
- Post titles must be meaningful and relevant, except on weekends

Agriculture is also a private business. You're making less sense now than you were a moment ago.
I am sorry you are struggling so much with your comprehension of concepts.
I will try to make the matter completely plain.
Agriculture is a practice for land utilization, involving labor, to produce food.
Business is a social structure, within which workers, through utilizing a productive asset claimed as the private property of the business, and through providing their labor to the business, create a product whose sale generates a profit for the business owner.
Agriculture may occur within the context of a private business, by utilizing lands claimed as its private property, to produce food for sale, through the labor provided by workers.
Accordingly, a private business may generate a profit by the sale of food, produced through utilizing lands claimed as its private property, and through the labor provided by workers.
Now, please pay very close attention.
Business may create a product not through utilizing land, and even may create a product that is not food.
Even more remarkably, agriculture may occur outside of private business, and may even occur utilizing lands not claimed as private property.
In summary, all of the following are true...
Hopefully, you are now beginning to understand the concepts that you previously have experienced as elusive and confounding.
If not, then I doubt anyone can help you further, except to suggest that you reread in a few days after letting your thoughts settle.
If you cannot respond to my explanation constructively, then please take your trolling elsewhere.
