And especially the untaught history of Communism’s environmental crimes against humanity, aside from Communism’s genocides and mass oppression.
That was my first thought when I read this. This was not so much a case of humanity against the environment, it was a case of a tyrannical Soviet government that had absolutely no inhibitions about the spoiling or destroying anything.
Without a doubt, totalitarian (specifically Communist governments) left a far greater Environmental scar on the earth, which is ironic given that a huge number of environmentalists are Leftists, therefore, ipso facto communists.
A type of government that could murder tens or hundreds of millions of its own people to achieve political goals could absolutely not care less about completely spoiling and destroying an environment in order to achieve a political goal such as being an economic power.
Lest we forget; we have our own sins to repent for, Buffalo, passenger pigeon, whooping crane, Sandhill crane, more.
Sounds like where our government is heading under the leadership of the likes of Schumer, Pelosy, and Biden. Lie about everything.
Speaking of Soviet environmental crimes:
