Greta Thunberg Throws in her lot with the Anti-Capitalist Left
Climate change activist Greta Thunberg, who has been propped up by global elites and central planners since she was a child, is finally admitting her activism isn't about saving the environment. Instead, it's about tearing down capitalism and implementing communist, government controlled systems around the world.
From a Report by Nicholas Harris in The Post:
Previously, sheâd sold herself as a five-foot human alarm bell, a climate Cassandra. Her role was to warn, not to instruct: her most viral moments involved her scolding political leaders, not trying to supplant them. She strenuously avoided programmatic detail, saying such things were ânothing to do with meâ. But now, on stage and in this book, she has found her political feet, specifically the Left-wing ideology of anti-capitalism and de-growth.
Interspersed among the usual directives about the need to pressure political leaders, her message was more radical and more militant than it has been in the past. There is no âback to normalâ, she told us. âNormalâ was the âsystemâ which gave us the climate crisis, a system of âcolonialism, imperialism, oppression, genocideâ, of âracist, oppressive extractionismâ. Climate justice is part of all justice; you canât have one without the others. We canât trust the elites produced by this system to confront its flaws â thatâs why she, much like Rishi Sunak, wonât be bothering with the COP meeting this year. COP itself is little more than a âscamâ which facilitates âgreenwashing, lying and cheatingâ. Only overthrow of âthe whole capitalist systemâ will suffice.
So now we are finally seeing the contours of Thunbergism. Run your eye down the contributors to The Climate Book and you can see who sheâs been reading: Jason Hickel, Kate Raworth, Naomi Klein. For these people the climate crisis isnât man-made. Itâs made by capitalism, as are the other forms of social injustice which plague society. Thereâs no GDP growth â especially of the capitalist sort â without increasing carbon emissions. The only solution to this state of emergency is for rich countries to immediately abandon economic expansion as a social goal.
Former California gubernatorial candidate Michael Shellenberger (and Environmental Truth Teller!) is explaining how capitalism has been a gift to human kind and how devastating Thunberg's ideology is to most of the world.
