I can't agree with you that the goal of socialism is to crush personal freedom. In fact, I'd take the direct opposite stance.

Full-on socialist policies (which some refer to as a "nanny state" because the essentials of life are provided by the government) actually free the citizenry from having to worry about the very trials and tribulations that consume the time and energy of a capitalist society: survival.

Much in the same way that slavery 'frees' the slave of the need to worry about making any decisions on their own at all.

And unless you ensure that you dont have like breeds/strains/etc being grown/raised contigiously AT A COUNTY OR STATE LEVEL you cannot assist in that containment. You have to have a calculated and agreed upon mechanism whereby every farmer in very large reqions ensure that they arent raising/growing any breed that their neighbors are so that a spread of disease has no vehicle to pass over large areas.

I farm and raise horses. I do have a little bit of a clue about it. I cant get my neighbors to agree on whose turn it is to level the farm roads, let alone agree on what crops we're each going to raise.

Arguments against monocropping are pointless unless you're dealing with geographic regions. Changing my farm from corn to soybeans doesn't mean jack if the guy next to me is rotating corn and soybeans as well, and the same is true of his neighbors and so on.

Unless you're able to coordinate and schedule the growing/raising at a county or state level you arent going to have impact on mutation or spread of disease. You may actually cause more harm than good by forcing ecosystems in a large area to adapt rapidly, raising the possibility of severe unintended consequences.

For contagions: No. They do not evolve in livestock to directly attack humans any more so than they do from plants. They evolve in their host and can be transmissible, and this is just as true from plants as it is from livestock.

For the non-transmissible diseases/insects : You wont give a shit about the direct danger posed by them if they indirectly cause your starvation.

It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.
