It is interesting to note that the elites who most actively promote climate alarmism are also the ones who flagrantly and severely break their own laws. Our accusers constantly fly around the globe in dirty private planes, but our infrequent vacations are causing the earth to burn like a ball of fire. Because wealthy people are purchasing enormous seaside homes, we can be certain that the waters are rising. At gatherings meant to limit our everyday intake of meat, climate alarmists devour expensive steak and lobster. Climate emergency denial is supported by evidence. What is the purpose of propaganda?
In short, climate alarmism serves as a handy pretext for imposing Marxist rule and violating individual liberties. Climate deniers want to subjugate the people who live on the planet, not save it. According to a recent Atlantic piece that Climate Depot cited, this reality is evident.
The term “degrowth communism” is ludicrous, as it amalgamates two ideas that are inherently divisive. According to the degrowth theory, there will always be a link between economic growth and carbon emissions; therefore, wealthy countries should reduce their consumption and the “material throughput” that drives GDP and generates demand for energy in order to combat climate change.
The piece goes on:
“In recent years, the degrowth movement has grown, especially in intellectual circles and throughout Europe. There are significant ramifications for the theory. To achieve degrowth, we would have to give up some of our material luxuries rather than develop carbon-neutral ways to fuel our opulent modern lifestyles. Kohei Saito, a prominent advocate, proposes enforcing a strict limit on the country’s aggregate energy consumption with annual reductions. Energy-intensive activities could face complete prohibitions or extremely high taxes. Perhaps it’s time to bid adieu to SUVs, hamburgers, and your annual Christmas cross-country journey. It would probably be against the rules for you to turn the thermostat up or down too much during the summer or winter. The government may designate certain products as “excessive” and forbid advertising for them in an effort to reduce wasteful spending. If growth slows down and requires fewer workers, the government will reduce the workweek and ensure that everyone has a job.”
The publication further stated that Saito explicitly considers himself a Communist. Saito paints a picture of a utopia that is unattainable in reality, one in which citizens willingly and democratically give up their rights and comforts in favor of workers’ cooperatives and modest socialist support.
