land reform

A satirical illustration of bureaucrats dividing farmland with heavy machinery while confused farmers look on.

Politics & Society

Description

Land reform is the act of seizing fertile soil from a privileged few and scattering it under the banner of idealism. It proclaims equality while caring only for measuring tapes and spreadsheets. Mountains of mundane paperwork overnight upend the daily lives of farmers. In the end, the land is divided, order is disturbed, and people ask themselves, ‘Is this justice?’
