Jacobin Consistency
The Marxist/Leninist left (and affiliated rabble) lost their footing in 1989-90 when the Soviet Union collapsed and international authoritarian socialism lost it's prime poster boy for "world revolution."
It's no secret amongst us folks on the right that many, if not most, of these clowns wandered aimlessly for a brief period before finding a home in the environmental movement. This is of course not to say that the cause of preserving a clean environment is not a good thing. I also, wouldn't begin to claim that anyone who believes in the benefits of recycling or reducing carbon emissions is a communist agitator. But(!), any self-respecting believer in limited government would be deluded to not notice the fervent familiarity of spirit amongst many "environmentalists." The leadership is clogged with old-school Marxist and garden variety "anarchists" (more old-school Marxists).
The overarching plan and purpose among many "environmental" groups today seems to have more to do with leveling capitalism, weakening (or disposing of) the United States, and imposing strict international authority over the lives and actions of the world's free citizens. Even the most passionate green-comm knows that "redistributing" (distributing) the world's wealth and forcing people into a lifestyle of subsistence or decline will barley make a half a degree difference in global temperatures -- over decades. They know this, but it's not about temperatures or "the environment," it's about the usual rage and rebellion amongst "angry white males [and females]" who just can't stomach the idea of other people leading other lives.
The video link in this post's title is a graphic example of the spirit of the left. It's philosophy is always red and the fact blood is the same color is probably not a coincidence.
