While I support the library model, I think it's short sighted to say that the community food production is insulated from inflation costs. Growing food is not without inputs of materials and labor. While the public good approach does spread that cost over society, it does not eliminate those costs nor their vulnerability to inflation.
I think that depends entirely on which system of agriculture is being practiced. The model for which I advocate—permaculture, closed-loop agriculture—does not depend on outside inputs aside from labor: “The goal of a food forest is to be a closed loop system: it seeks to generate its own inputs to the greatest extent possible. In the ideal scenario, the only labor input would be harvesting. If that seems far-fetched, consider that such plantings have survived for over 150 years without any maintenance, evolving to become vital foraging grounds for the descendants of the people who planted them.”
Same goes for fuel, oil and gas--we need a petrocommunism that can take these out of the commodity markets so they can be used only when socially necessary. https://open.substack.com/pub/thespouter/p/petromarxismpetrocommunism-overview
