“Right now, libertarianism seems in tune with the spirit of the age: the unrestricted flows of capital, the spread of the market into every aspect of society, rampant consumerism, the self-obsession of fashion, and so on, but its day is drawing to a close. No politician wants to say this straight, but if we are to avoid nihilistic de-civilisation, the future will require heavier doses of the state and the superstate, more restrictions on business and on individual choice, more in the way of communal and collective thought and action.

Oh joy…

Of course Socialism is the only “viable” solution to the “climate problem” as seen from their perspective because it is the only economic system that will reduce growth and the standard of living of people to the levels they think are economically viable.

Socialism also allows for a priveledged elite, that each of the advocates believes they are members of, to live above the lifestyles of the proletariates and dictate policy.

Want to collapse the lifestyles of the world….the solution is easy…MORE SOCIALISM!
