A new study shows that "The Limits of Growth", published by the Club of Rome in 1972, was quite right to predict a steep decline and collapse of modern civilization during the latter half of the 21st century. Indeed, the current study suggests that the collapse may happen already in 2040.
The author of the study refuses to accept its conclusions and pitches the usual "collapse unless we do something within a decade" (it´s always a decade). Nupe, that´s not what the graphs say. They say collapse in 2040. Period.
A bit earlier than I expected, but there you go.
Eco-socialists may now step forward and explain how this scenario can be averted...
Eco-socialist: "We need mass immigration to the First World, we have to blow up the pipe lines, and beyond that, I really don´t know, dude, but at least they can´t call us racists when we kindly inform them that the First World is now just as shitty as the poor countries they fled from, since we got rid of all the fossil fuel fascism without having any other substitute than small quantities of bio-dynamically grown hash, no wait, that´s Anthroposophy and we´re suppose to think that´s fascist, too, so no, we have nothing here, so billions of people will starve to death, but since the famine is colorblind they really-really can´t accuse us of racism, dammit"
ReplyDelete"Oh, and bomb Gaddafi"
ReplyDelete"We can have huge machines controlled by workers´ councils which are nevertheless Green, since Murray Bookchin said so. So what´s the problem? Surely you´re not a DEEP ECOLOGIST FASCIST???"
ReplyDeleteEco-socialist here. nice try tidlösa you are claerly a supportr oif Steiner and Anthroposopjhy, which meens you really are facsist also Nazi SAtaudenmeirr exposed your kind kong ago.
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteI think Bookchin and the local Anthroposophists and Fifth Estate hippies were secretly friends, sitting at some hippie café in Vermont, drinking fruit juice and bullshitting each other about the time they trolled the local Trots in New York or something!
Bookchin... First book i ever red about anarchism was by him. Seemed really good back then when i was 14 and it was the only book by an "anarchist" i could get my small town library to get for me.
ReplyDeleteThese days i would prefer antroposohist to him if i had to. Even Nordbol would be preferable to that useful idiot. Or maybe people like Bookchin are not the idiots, but all leftists and enviromentalists who fall for the nonsence that is deliberatle spread in order to tear up the welfare states and make enviromental national state laws obsolete.
Hey Anon!
ReplyDeleteAre you that guy who said all those profound things about "islamophobia" i debated with here a while ago? If thats the case i still want you to enligthen me about what islamophobia really is.
I also read Bookchin when I was about 14, an article translated to Swedish by Arbetaren. I *may* have misinterpreted it (although probably not, since Bookchin´s polemics were pretty wild), but it certainly sounded as if he accused Arne Naess of being some kind of fascist or Nazi! Bookchin is entertaining in the sense that he sounds like an old fashioned Marxist polemicist, while claiming to have broken with that tradition...
