Lol. There were still fish back when their were soviets, for sure they overfished but it was the last half century of capitalism that fucked the seas up beyond repair.

They went back in time. Math wasn’t invented yet back in the 1600. People didn’t count fish because they didn’t sell them, they threw them all in a vat and neanderthals migrated from the villages to go bobbing for fishes.

You can trust me on this.
