Over-Population Mythology

Political chic is bat shit crazy.

Think she's a liberal and just writing how she does to make Republicans look foolish. Succeeding too.


She is right about Malthus and Ehrlich. Their doomsaying predictions have all been proven wrong by history.
It's because they're wrong about something, congratulations, both sides have nut jobs..

Ehrlich was no nut job, and his ideas are still well respected among liberals and driving policy.

Indeed, I note that you are not denying that his co-author was appointed to Science Czar.
Doesn't mean they're not nuts, and respected by democrats, not many liberals I know.


Really? YOu know liberals that don't embrace the Population Bomb hysteria?

I find that hard to believe.

Have you directly asked them about it?
 
We do produce more then enough food to feed the worlds population, the problem is, we have a world based on exchange values taking importance over use values, and it doesn't help that capitalists waste food In massive amounts and destroy the environment. We need to focus on our environment and more efficient methods of food production, cut back on meat, protect our fertile land...




"the problem is, we have a world based on exchange values taking importance over use values,....capitalists waste food In massive amounts..."

Speaking of another brain-dead food-waster.....

Michael Moore tells CNN's Anderson Cooper that capitalism “is an evil system set up to benefit the few at the expense of the many….
"So, what system do you want?" Anderson Cooper asked Moore.
"Well there's no system right now that exists. We're going to create that system.” Michael Moore We re Going To Replace Capitalism As We Know It RealClearPolitics

While capitalism is certainly unfair, possibly even evil, there's no way to replace a global capitalist model without rather a lot of shouting and bloodshed.
Anarchist syndicalism, look into it. Yeah, it would more then likely be violent. But it is inevitable.


How many do you expect to die?

And please be clear for Delta's sake, do you support those millions dying in order for the March of HIstory to reach it's Communist Conclusion?
It's inevitable we will push from capitalism to socialism to communism, the trends are there, the contradictions of capitalism are real.. I don't want anyone to die. But I'm a realistic person.

Yes, and they're not stupid, we Already have more then enough resources for the world and future generations/higher populations, we have a bad way of putting exchange value first over use value, and capitalists love wasting surplus.

You insult him by implying that he doesn't know that.

Marxist? What percentage of the US population would you be willing to see die in the Revolution, if it lead to the Communist Utopia?
What percentage would you see die to end feudalism? I have no idea, I'm hoping it would not be much violence at all, please look into anarchist syndicalism.

How many would you be willing to see die, if it meant you got what you wanted?

5%? 10%

Russia was a blood bath. So was China.

Here in America? With it's large capitalist class, and well to do middle class...

The toll would be staggering.

But you're up for it aren't you?

All systems have waste. At least capitalism PRODUCES surpluses, so the waste doesn't mean people have to go without.

It's very unlikely anything violent would occur to any scale close to what you're talking about unless we've Allowed the world to get to such a horrible point.. Yeah. The middle class is certainly doing well... Russia and China were stupid, it's why many communists turn away from Leninism/Maoism and to more viable alternatives like anarchism and extensions of that thought.

People do go without all the time, child poverty is on the rise in first world imperialist countries, millions lack basic food, while capitalists distribute and sell food for profit in first world dumps. All systems don't have waste to the scale capitalism encourages.

Unlikely? WHy?

You see the hatred the lefties on this site have for the Right, and you think that a violent revolution by the left would not be a blood bath?

Nonsense.

YOu are kidding yourself.

Most marxists I have talked to have admitted that it would be in the millions, and they fully endorse that.

You need to ask your marxist buddies how many they would be will to see die to achieve their goals.

I never said people wouldn't die, but how many died in our civil war? The revolutions throughout history. Anarchist syndicalism Anarcho-syndicalism (also referred to as revolutionary syndicalism[1]) is a theory of anarchism which views revolutionary industrial unionism or syndicalism as a method for workers in capitalist society to gain control of an economy and, with that control, influence broader society. Syndicalists consider their economic theories a strategy for facilitating worker self-activity and as an alternative co-operative economic system with democratic values and production centered on meeting human needs.

Because of failed distribution methods, and yes, capitalists waste resources in mass.
 
4. One might expect academia to drop ideas that have been proven wrong....but Malthus and Marx are still way up there in syllabi..... those bastions of Liberalism, the universities, carry on in the same fraudulent vein...



Professor Dennis Meadows was with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he said:

"It used to take 1,500 years to double the world's population. Now it takes about 30 years.... Mankind is facing mass starvation, epidemics, uncontrollable pollution and wars if we don't discover new methods of population and industrial control and do it fast. If our society hasn't succeeded in ten years in coming to grips with these problems, I think it will be too late."


"....If our society hasn't succeeded in ten years in coming to grips with these problems, I think it will be too late."
He said that in 1971.

The Al Gore Syndrome: never correct, but never in doubt.



a. Of course, Professor Meadows is the former director of the Institute for Policy and Social Science Research at the University of New Hampshire.[1]He is President of the Laboratory for Interactive Learning and widely known as the co-author of The Limits to Growth.
Dennis Meadows - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

HIs politics are....guess what?....waaaaayyyyy Left.



b. He is a member of "The Club of Rome," the socialist entity that determines UN environmental policies.

"The official United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development (UNCED) was headquartered at Rio Center, Brazil, and "Maurice Strong, the conference's secretary general, declared at the official opening that the human race is "a species out of control." He is a member of the Club of Rome, which predicted in 1972 that the world would run out of gold by 1981, mercury by 1985, tin by 1987, petroleum by 1992, and copper, lead, and natural gas by 1993. But no one at Rio was likely to remind Strong or anyone else of the Club's absurd predictions."
Carnival of Dunces Competitive Enterprise Institute



Hazlitt correctly states the fallacy:
' Most of these predictions are reached by simply extrapolating recent annual growth rates and assuming that they will continue, come what may.'


Folks that think that way probably view the growth of infants and predict that they will be the size of barns.

How truly stupid and incorrect.

The only thing that could possible by more obtuse would be to pretend to be a Marxist.

I see you've got that covered, too.

It's not incorrect, it's why millions lack access to basic needs, why children starve to death worldwide, why the government has to intervene to make sure children are fed.. You're stupid, tell me more about the amount of food produced. Yeah. You obviously know all about Marxism and stupidity, you're a grade A idiot.
