‘F-ck Germany … and f-ck Israel!’ giggled climate mascot Greta Thunberg from behind a lectern draped in a keffiyeh while wearing another one around her neck.
In a November tweet, Ms Thunberg said she had been travelling through northern Kurdistan, listening to ‘countless stories of the current systematic oppression and repression’ and the ‘destruction and exploitation of the nature’.
She added, ‘The government continues to use terrorism as a pretext to silence its political opponents.’
The merging of the Climate Change ‘let’s fix carbon with communism’ movement with Free Palestine is idiotic but predictable. Both ideas are fronts for socialism. Both tug on humanitarian heartstrings to justify the destruction of society to make way for a dictatorship of bastards.
When environmental activists express a desire to ‘f-ck the West’ we should listen to them and consider if their politics on climate might have an ulterior purpose.
Extinction Rebellion asks if we need to overturn capitalism to decarbonise. It is stated with no effort to explain why socialist, Marxist, and communist nations are the worst environmental caretakers in the world – nonetheless, they convince our children and educators to carry signs with System Change! through the streets of the West.
A Real Extinction Rebellion Means the End of Colonialism, Imperialism, and Capitalism, goes one climate justice headline in 2019. Capitalism and the climate crisis: Why it’s socialism or extinction, says another.
The latter is an article worth reading, if only to open your eyes about the underlying purpose of feel-good climate talk. It serves as a swift and brutal lesson on why the Liberal Party (and the Teals) are fools to play into the narrative.
‘He [Martin Empson] argues that disastrous climate change is an inevitable product of the inner working of capitalism as an economic system … fossil fuels are central to capitalism.’
The article goes on to say: ‘The book also traces why fossil fuels became so embedded in the system, looking at the way the steam engine powered by coal helped drive forward the Industrial Revolution, and how the use of coal and oil by European colonial powers allowed them to control the world through steamships and later more advanced battleships and aircraft.’
Just try not to do anything foolish, such as ask the authors which political system is building the most coal-fired power stations today, or laying the biggest oil pipelines, or fueling the largest armies…
The war on coal is a war on capitalism, not climate change.
Even though without fossil fuels, communism and Islamic theocracies would collapse overnight…
In this case, reality does not matter, nor does logic or merit. What matters is the ideology being used to brainwash younger citizens, convincing them to tear down their society without having any understanding of what sits in wait to occupy their Parliaments.
We should listen to writers such as Empson when they say, ‘These schemes [carbon markets and emissions trading schemes] are attractive to the capitalists because they appear to offer a way of dealing with climate change while allowing capitalist production to continue as normal.’
In practice, these schemes shield green communism from the eyes of the public, allowing it to fester and spread far beyond the limits of reason, infecting every branch of private and public life before its true nature is discovered. Conservative parties, especially the Liberal Party, helped devise the green economy to keep their private sector allies in business, but at what cost to the future of our political system? Liberal Prime Ministers have been feeding the wolf pups to stop them biting. Now they are fully-grown predators. A wolf does not see any difference between a steak and the outstretched hand.
The climate change movement continues to call for massive state intervention to build a so-called sustainable society. A green revolution which is actually a red revolution. They argue for the overthrowing of capitalist systems, comparing them to the awful and bloodthirsty revolutions of the past. Is that something we really want to see happen on Australian soil?
A Peter Dutton government carries with it a Net Zero target negotiated to walk the line between angry conservative farmers and inner-city Teal voters whose money the party would quite like to see back in the fold. If not the money, then certainly the prestige of the seats themselves.
At the time of announcing a ‘backslide’ on the Paris Agreement, Mr Dutton said: ‘I am not going to sign up to an arrangement that destroys our economy and sends families and small businesses into bankruptcy.’
Fair enough, but it is only partly true. Most of the renewable and Net Zero pathway will remain under a Dutton government with only minor tinkering. Still, what he should have said was, ‘We recognise that Net Zero is an ideological lie designed to damage capitalism and overthrow the government. From now on, all money dedicated to the enemies of democracy will be ceased.’ It could have been his Milei moment. Unfortunately, any declarations against Net Zero involve admitting ignorance or complicity. What the Liberals do not realise is that an apology would do just fine.
Instead, the Liberal Party home page says: ‘Our energy plan will deliver a balanced energy mix, with more renewables, more gas, and – in seven locations – replace reitred coal plants with zero-emissions nuclear energy.’
In other words, they have no knowledge of the political games being played around them. This makes the Liberal Party the biggest useful idiots in the room instead of assuming their historical role as our salvation.
Politicians need to wake up, quickly, to what is really going on here and strip from their policy portfolio any mention of climate change and Net Zero and treat these ideas with the same distaste as Menzies gave to communism.
It has become fashionable to palm the culture wars off as irrelevant when anyone who has made a study of history knows that the culture wars are what shaped the most dangerous periods in human history and their scars live on in the geopolitical landscape where our leaders step through the corpses of lost empires on their way to UN climate talks.
Our conservative politicians will not entertain these discussions, let alone reason them out to their predictable end.
Let us return to the climate warrior Ms Thunberg and her campaign to promote the Palestinian cause to Western youth, feeding them tales of liberation as a chaser to climate politics.
The Marxist Left Review carried an article in June stating, ‘The new Nakba taking place in Gaza has made it clearer than ever that the struggle for Palestine is a struggle against the entire system capitalism and imperialism in the Middle East.’
It goes on to add, ‘…the first task of socialists across the world is to offer our solidarity to the Palestinians and their liberation struggle … to do this socialists in Australia and across the world have thrown ourselves into organising protests, sit-ins, pickets, blockades, camps, strikes, and forums to grow and deepen the movement … there’s an urgent need to convince activists of the fundamental connection between capitalism and Palestinian oppression.’
Convincing the most privileged children in human history that the solution to their present state of comfort is a Palestinian-esque liberation featuring socialism might seem like an impossible task but universities act like crucibles, distorting reality while insulting young adults from the truth. Their experience is learned in the lecture hall rather than lived. What does their world look like post-liberation? Seriously. What magic realm do they envision for their fellow man?
The Middle East is, as many have pointed out, dominated by Stalinism and awash with tribal socialist dictatorships that promise freedom while establishing extreme Islamic religious theocracies that employ powerful arms of military violence, foreign assistance, and enjoy international bureaucratic protection from disastrous organisations such as the United Nations. These regimes sustain themselves almost solely on international aid, war mongering, and the sale of fossil fuels. They abhor every value treasured by Western university socialists and yet the young cheer beside those who would kill and enslave them if given half a chance.
Australian taxpayers may wonder what, if any, punishment the Labor Party should face having approved funding for UNRWA long after its involvement in Hamas became common knowledge. Facilitating the funding of foreign terror organisations would be an offence if perpetrated by a citizen, but what happens to a government guilty of the same crime? Nothing, as far as we can tell. What about our funding of third-world climate programs which further the goal of the global socialist revolution? How much of our money is spent building the scaffold beneath us?
The greater punishment will be exacted on all of us if we fail to call politicians out – whether they are pandering to communist climate goals or the hashtag campaign banners of foreign socialist uprisings.
If we continue to empower, through the ballot box, these policies in Western democracies our democracy will cease to exist.
This is supposed to be the Age of Science and Truth – so let us have a little truth in this election. Climate Change is communism and it must be deposed.
