Are Ants communist?

There have been people advocating insects as a more sustainable form of protein for a while.

I suspect that most people would rather just have rice and beans.

Their whole hivemind is based on being separated in classes so no

why specifically ants? people already eat similar stuff across the globe

Tried eating a leafcutter ant? Those niggas are sweet.

How healthy is golden rice, because rice is not considered very healthy because of the glycemic index and carbohydrates in general?

This. I'd say ants utilize a basic feudal system minus the intrigue seen in the warrior caste.

There is a type of ant called the honeypot ant. [spoiler]It carries honey[/spoiler]

I guess if you mean the ants own the means of productions then sure? People think of the Queen as the leader, but really she's just another ant they take care of as long as she's fertile. The Queen doesn't make decisions, the colony does. So they control the Queen, and the means of producing more ants. They're also probably the most successful female led society in the animal kingdom.

god damn that looks tasty af

it was designed to tackle Vit A deficiency in the developing world

i say much better than white rice
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rice

No, you moron

its not genocide if they arent human

ants are some primitive version of monarchism, kinda like sumeria

A curry leaf has the equivalent of multiple servings of golden rice in terms of beta carotene.

Beta carotene isn't the issue, the lack of fat in diet to facilitate conversion of beta carotene into vitamin a is the problem.

No.

An ant colony is one mega-organism.

It doesn't make sense to think of the ant as an economic entity any more than it makes sense to think of a white blood cell or a neuron that way.

Ants are replaceable, mindless appendages to a fairly intelligent, adaptive whole.

>not telling me why im wrong
enlighten me

Ants are like a monarchy/communist, which IDK how it works but eh it's like they discovered there own ideology called Antism

Their grubs maybe. I somehow doubt that the nutritional value of an ant is worth it considering how many you'd need to eat. Most places that do eat them treat them as a delicacy. Feel free to source me wrong though
They're pretty much delicacies wherever you can find them.

>hating wasps

God I fucking love that video. The structure is beautiful and it causes so much butthurt.

>Never forget the 9 quadrillion ants!!11!1!!

See the "queen" is no ruler there is no central authority they're just organisms replecating themselves. To say that it has some kind of organized structure dictated by some individual would be like saying that my bowels are feudalists because the bowl takes a tithe.

caterpillar detected

There the worst user, they bring exist to bring PAIN

I guess any rice is better for any developing nation.
Wasn't beta carotene now considered also potentially bad? If I remember correctly it is antioxidant which are only good in certain amounts because a small amount of free radicals is actually good.

aNT HIVES ARE EXAMPLES OF PERFECT SOCIALISM

Well it is natural

It would be an issue if he did this to ants that weren't environmentally devastating, but RIFAs can go fuck themselves.

>new study finds that a a large portion of worker ants are actually fucking lazy
>mfw 20% of ants have shook off the shackles of Babylon

He's done it like 200 times. Which to me is just cruel, ants or not. Like a few times yeah, its art, its very interesting, it looks cool and tells us how they build, but 200 times is literally just murdering millions of ants for nothing but the same thing over and over.

There's a trillion more from where those came form

Yeah, but I get a warm and fuzzy feeling whenever I see the metal start bubbling and the smoke start coming out.

You know there's a ton of living things being irreversibly destroyed.

Then again, I'm fascinated by WW2 era strategic bombing and the Mongols for similar reasons, so maybe I'm not a moral authority here.

Same. Seeing bodies charred from a car crash or something similar always fascinate me.

Monarchist hivemind

Specifically, it's mass destruction and the destruction of entire societies that fascinates me.

Like, I don't like looking at car accidents. I just feel bad.

But if the entire city has been firebombed to the point where a firestorm breaks out, or there's German flamethrower tanks burning down an entire neighborhood house by house with the people trapped inside, that's interesting to me on a really morbid level.

I'm also a huge Sherman fan.
