@josh @dielan Banana's have been cultivated to be sterile, in order to avoid having seeds in the banana. To produce more banana crops, we need to remove a piece of the parent plant and replant it. This means that every generation of bananas is genetically identical to the parent.
With so little genetic diversity, a disease is capable of rapidly exterminating an entire variety with no opportunity to resist it.
Prior to 1950, the worlds sole favourite banana (and the one that exemplified the artificial banana flavour we use) was the Gros Michel. A fungal infection; Panama Disease, exterminated almost every single Gros Michel banana plant. The Cavendish was immune to the disease, and survived the fungal infection. Cavendish have long shelf lives, making them ideal for transport.
Panama disease has mutated over time, as diseases do, and a new strain is capable of infecting Cavendish bananas. Cavendish, like the Gros Michel are all cultivar clones, and as such they have no genetic diversity at all. It is very likely that all Cavendish plants will go extinct. There is no replacement for the Cavendish in terms of size and flavour that has a long shelf life. As such, any banana that replaces the Cavendish is going to be very different.
We will likely have to breed a new banana from a hybrid of a pre-existing cultivar and a wild species, and accept bananas that have seeds. Enjoy them while you have the ones you like. -

@niclas It’s a consequence of so few of them actually reading theory. Private property is any item relating to production or capital (Land, factories, mining equiptment, rental properties, physical stores of capital like silver) Personal property covers things like clothing, books, toys and non-investment property.
What most of them actually mean as a consequence of not knowing about the ideology is “Expensive things other people own“, as you say. It’s tribal. They want to be part of a club and for that club to hurt their enemies and benefit them.
