They couldn't possibly consume everything they grow.
What you're describing is what Yuri said they'd need: the boot of government on their neck. I don't think we'll ever do that, nor do I see it as preferable to war casualties.
Perhaps. What I'm describing happened in Israel - they came into the country with socialist ideals from Europe, got employed draining swamps, planting forests and working fields. Very shortly the act of working and paying taxes turned a lot of people to the right path, and the country is now majority right-nationalist. It's not perfect, there are still plenty of leftist scum, but it healed a people that spent centuries as middlemen minorities with no ties to land. There is a lot in common between those lefty colonists and current Antifa. Those that can be fixed are fixed by work. Those that can't be fixed will stay in prison.
