If you care more seriously, you'd take over the farms and distribute it. Taking over grocery stores without the greater infrastructure is just causing food shortages when the distribution points can't function, and the producers don't have funding
Oh yeah, they tried this in China in the 50s. It went great.
It would be stupid and terrible either way, but that was a government takeover.
How else do you imagine a large-scale infrastructure would happen? an angry mob?

The post is not a description of large-scale infrastructure takeover. That was literally the point of this comment thread.
