I so clueless to reply to this quote

[Bright Banana Beard]

"If this philosophy were to take over the world then there would only be starving, oppressed farmers...but no doctors, scientists, or engineers of any merit. God help us all if it ever became a reality."

Well can anyone clarify it up?

Can someone move this to politics?

[An archist]

About what philosophy is it? I assume about anarchism?
The best reply I can think of is asking 'why?'

If you're clueless as to how to respond to the quote, then you should probe into what the author meant by it or find out the reasoning behind her conclusion.

[Bright Banana Beard]

Yeah, it is anarchism, but Im assume he thinking we have to divide the farm among the farmer.

[which doctor]

I don't think the quote even merits a response.
