Environmentalism vs. Communism: Is There a Difference?

As the debate rages on about what we should do to protect the environment and stop global warming, there is something being completely missed by the average citizen. It isn’t some misrepresented statistic or inaccurate portrayal of future catastrophic events; it is the intent behind the entire movement. Since the years of the Cold War began winding down, a new threat has faced our nation and has now spread throughout the world. Its seemingly innocent attempt to save the planet from human destruction is nothing more than an attempt to stifle capitalist economies and provide governments of industrialized nations an unprecedented amount of control over their populations. It is a movement that would make even Stalin proud.

As we all know, pure communism fails miserably when put into action. When the old Soviet Union finally realized they could not keep up economically with a capitalist country like the United States, their efforts may have died, but the ideology lived on. This ideology was never limited to just communist countries as the idea of a free republic is not just limited to the United States. There are plenty of people in our own country who still share those same ideals the Soviets held. Once that ideology was defeated as a way of governance, their efforts needed to be focused on a new form of control and government dominance. What better way is there to make people want to give away their freedoms than to tell them they’re destroying the planet for future generations?

The concept for communism and environmentalism is basically the same. It’s actually pretty simple to identify as well. If you strip individuals of their basic rights and turn all power over to the federal government, the citizenry will be completely dependent on that government. The only difference between the two is the way this process takes place.

Usually, a communist regime is established by brutal takeover of the government at hand. Former leaders are murdered or exiled and the military powers are seized by the new leader in order to suppress rebellions and enforce strict new laws. Systems of communication, transportation, education, banking, and others vital to commerce and production are normally controlled by the new establishment. Property is seized and businesses are taken over by the leadership in order to control economic factors. Basically, you lose all of your individual rights and become a servant to the new government which will give you what they think you need to survive. It’s very oppressive and is meant to be that way in order to keep citizens believing that without the government hand-outs they will not live.

Surprisingly (or not), this is pretty much the same intent environmentalists have when promoting their hysterical claims about humans ruining the Earth.

Let’s be honest here. The science that is being used for all of the past and current global warming crises is incomplete and/or misleading at best. It’s downright fraudulent at worst. How can I be so sure? Have you ever watched your local weather forecast? How often can they accurately predict the weather five days in advance? How about 10 days in advance? But we’re supposed to believe that people can accurately predict the next hundred years with absolute certainty? Some of these scientists that are making these predictions are not even climatologists. Give me a climatologist that’s been studying for a few decades and says that it’s not possible to make such predictions, and I’ll be more apt to believe him than someone who is part of a consensus with very little credentials on the study of Earth’s climate, especially if these scientists are working for the government.

What’s worse is that most of the computer models used do not have all of the information put into them before the models are run. They require adjustments after the fact and many times these are made to reflect the results desired. Never mind the fact that none of these computer models have a real average temperature of the Earth because there are not reliable readings from the entire surface or atmosphere. Constant local temperatures cannot be recorded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean because there are no instruments to record them. There is no reliable or accurate, average surface temperature for the Earth, and certainly not one over the last hundred, thousand, or million years.

So, if we can’t get accurate readings and obtain accurate future climate models, why is there such a strong desire for new restrictions, regulations, and laws by environmentalists? Why are we trying to correct something through regulations and taxes when we’re not even sure what that something is?

The answer is simple: It’s not about saving the planet – it’s about destroying capitalism.

Energy sources such as oil, natural gas, coal, electricity, and even nuclear power are what allow us to be a modern, technologically advanced Western civilization. Without these things, we are pretty much a third-world nation. We have enjoyed prosperity because of our reliable sources of energy and the ability to use them in a free market to increase production and wealth. This is why energy companies are the primary targets for environmentalists. It’s not because these companies are destroying the environment. They are targeted because they demonstrate how well a capitalist economy works and how vital their resources are to keep it growing.

Just recently we had politicians trying to confiscate the profits of oil companies under the guise of a “windfall profits” tax. This is today’s communism in our own government. They wanted to seize earnings of oil companies and throw it into the public treasury so that it could be redistributed into programs for people who are considered to be “less fortunate”. Environmentalism is trying to accomplish the exact same goal. They want to punish companies and individuals for using energy. They have already managed to get laws passed restricting what you’re allowed to do on your property and what automobile manufacturers need to do to make their cars more “eco-friendly”. The next step would be to tell you what you’re allowed to do in your home.

“How much electricity did you use this month? That’s too much. We need to raise those taxes. How much gas did you use in your car this month? That’s too much; we need higher taxes there. How much carbon dioxide did you emit? We need to figure out how to tax that too.”

Why do you think people like Al Gore are trying to calculate their “carbon footprints” and buying “carbon offsets”? They know what’s coming. They’re planning ahead. (By the way, here’s an inconvenient truth: Al Gore buys his carbon credits from himself.) If everyone can be taxed to death and the economy can be slowed enough, it will be much easier for these communists to achieve their ultimate goal. This is why the skeptics of global warming alarmism are ridiculed and threatened, and their credibility is questioned by people who claim they are paid off by the evil energy companies. It is all a ruse by the alarmists to try to prove that these energy companies are guilty of killing the planet. But the American public is too damn stupid to figure this out.

Now we have the ever-so-corrupt United Nations trying to address this as a global issue. Sovereign nations are giving them the authority to introduce new plans and ultimately invent new global legislation to try to deal with the effects of this upcoming catastrophe. What’s their brilliant plan? They want to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by some percentage that would be nearly impossible to accomplish without halting all use of fossil fuels. Who uses fossil fuels? All the major industrialized nations. You know, the nations with the highest quality of living. The nations that have worked hard for generations to achieve economic prosperity and give their populations the ability to live a more comfortable life. The nations that support capitalism.

So, don’t worry America. Just keep believing that environmentalists are nothing more than tree-hugging hippies that want to save polar bears from drowning. Keep believing that human activity is able to alter our climate so drastically that we can bring about ice ages or a fiery planet. Just continue to allow yourself to be educated by the media and politicians with an agenda. You don’t need to move too quickly though. After all, controlling communication and information is only the first stages of communism, so you still have time.

Unfortunately, there is less time to stop this new wave of communism than there is to prevent global disasters.
