What does this mean in plain language and is this scientific? Post proofs.

A surplus of food today won't matter when tomorrow it becomes a deficit from extreme weather or resource depletion, especially if those resources are needed for pesticides and fertilizers. There are countless other limits not directly related to food, from water stress to persistent pollution that are extremely dangerous to humanity.
Don't get me wrong, the answer isn't to start genociding people. Most of this is due to capitalist waste, and under socialism, we'd be able to streamline production to not only be more ecologically conscious, but more equitable as well. This still doesn't change the fact that we're horrendously in overshoot, and I'm skeptical we can stabilize things without a combination of reduced production and soft populations controls like universal abortions and family planning.

Ok
You immediately contradict yourself here
Not the decolonization part

wtf does 'historically neccesary' mean? that it had to happen for the present to exist? no duh, that applies for everything.
I don't think genocide of the natives was necessary, there were plenty of other ways to solve that situation.

You're talking about such a large amount of land becoming totally unproductive that it is unrealistic unless the planet is literally turning into Venus. Enough food can be produced, and if need be oil-powered tractors can be replaced by human labor or animal power, but it almost certainly won't even come to that.
Of course the important thing isn't whether people can be fed (they can continue to be, quite easily), but whether the powers that be have the means to forcibly reduce the population and corral them into quarantine areas. In the past, this was not easy, but the modern national security state has been developing consciously towards that goal. Around 1980, humanity's fate was sealed, and most people born since then who are educated are enthusiastic about this impending extermination, and are completely irredeemable. They will not stop, no matter what, until they all die, or we all die. There is no compromise and no coexistence possible in the long term.
It really doesn't matter what economic system we have, although obviously a socialist system would not suffer the kind of inefficiencies and stupidities we see in the market system and with agribusiness designing seeds with the intent to disallow re-use. Given the logic of population control though, I would imagine such use of terminator seeds would continue, and deliberate action would be taken to begin starving out and with-holding food from the undesirables.

Read this study. The planet doesn't doesn't need to become a desert for crop yield to significantly decline worldwide and a large scale famine to occur:

Deng ACCEPTED that capitalism was needed in china in order to keep building an international power that would eventually send in the peoples liberation army.
As mentioned before, you just can't do all that singapore invading without reforms only suited specifically towards china's weird domestic and foreign politics/policies that would eventually be repealed by those adherent to "inherently socialist ideas" (Deng never really shit on the current central planning elsewhere, hence the CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS).
Sorry if this is too repetitive/incoherent. It's late as fuck and I'm tired

Isn't it simpler to just believe that China gave in to the corruption that all M-L states did and the powerful were envious of their compatriots in the west?
