‘Except by means of despotic inroads’

Just six little words from The Communist Manifesto sum up the green agenda entirely.

It’s safe to say that many of those who think of themselves as communists would not don the communist hat if they were to actually read the manual of Marx and Engels. After all, don’t they too often own property, and in particular, real estate? Don’t they too enjoy the comfort of food? Aren’t many of them parents who would argue that they in fact have their child’s best interest at heart, not the government? I’d say so, on all points.

On a personal note, I know these clowns don’t read the book, because I ask every time I meet one; I have yet to find a “communist” who has actually read the Manifesto. (There’s really no excuse given the fact it’s basically a pamphlet, and contains an ideology responsible for the deaths of more than 100 million people, so what could they possibly have going on that’s more important than getting to the bottom of it, especially if they’re actively advocating and voting for communist policies that pave the way for more of the most horrendous tyranny known to man; but what do I know?) In fact, several years back I found myself engaged in conversation with a “communist” who — shocker — hadn’t read the book, and I received the parroted cliché response of a college-educated Marxist: “it’s just never been done right.” (Fast forward, the “communist” purchased her first home, thanks to her doctor daddy’s “capital” — his “private gain” bourgeois money. What happened to the Marxian cry against generational wealth?)

If they did by chance read it, they would find six distinct words that sum up the entire movement of “green” tyranny

Marx and Engels...two, old white racists males

Environmentalists are communists.

How?

Communists know how to confiscate and redistribute wealth....but they do not know how to produce anything.

Environmentalists know how to ban things....but they have no plan for replacing it.

Communists know how to confiscate and redistribute wealth....but they do not know how to produce anything. Environmentalists know how to ban things....but they have no plan for replacing it.

I respectfully disagree. On this the environmentalists are exactly like communists. Both are able to confiscate and/or destroy something. Both think they have a replacement, even if they replacement is worthless at best, harmful in reality (i.e. green energy and communism). Both movements are based on leaders brainwashing the masses into thinking life sucks and will keep sucking unless the leaders have more power. And both wind up being harmful to the cult like followers while making their masters wealthier and more powerful.

I can see the bad in the environmentalists even though I like both "green" energy and EV's from a free market perspective. I'm in a situation where solar and an EV well for me most of the time (thus I like implementing them for my wife and me as a 90% solution, with the understanding that I still need an ICE pickup for some things and I still have to buy at least a little of my power from the grid).
