Above paraphrased, of course, from Marx for those not recognizing it.
A current PRIVATIZED ECONOMIC SYSTEM REPRESENTS AN EXTANT HISTORICAL ARTIFACT, ZOMBIE, FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER, VAMPIRE, resurrected over the past 100 or so years on perpetual artificial life support systems like militarism, war, violent coups, financial, economic, tax subsidies, latest, for example, being TARP, QE, STIMULUS, real estate and corporate tax abatement, capital gains, etc.
ALL REPRESENT SOCIALIZED TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES FOR PRIVATE CAPITAL preservation, including poverty programs which really represent further socialized subsidies offsetting PRIVATE CAPITAL EXPLOITATION.
A trickle up theory.
TAX POLICIES NOT AN/THE ANSWER!
PRIVATELY OWNED INDUSTRIES and NATURAL RESOURCES MUST BE (RE)NATIONALIZED, COLLECTIVIZED, GLOBALLY, FOR REALITY TO BECOME RATIONAL!
NO ALTERNATIVE EXISTS!
SYSTEMIC COLLAPSE, IMPLOSION, SPECIES ANNIHILATION, EXTINCTION, GUARANTEED.
This includes an ENTIRE PRIVATIZED ENERGY SYSTEM, from point of natural or man made origin to distribution, pipelines, grid, etc.
(Tangential to this subject matter, I would love to be alive to see IF, somehow, electricity, generated EVERYWHERE, naturally, could be harnessed, controlled, for human usage without having to generate it ourselves!
Tangential speculation finished.
Back to subject matter at hand, above/below.)
Troops are NOT sent abroad to expand a UNIVERSAL national US Post Office system, Medicare, OR, Libraries, possessing NO stock market shares, PRIVATE investors, and/or, profit expediencies.
Climate change being but one aspect, repercussion, symptom, of THIS/A pathologically DISEASED economic artifact, anachronistic relic of prehistoric, primitive, capital accumulation, clans, tribes, landed gentry, aristocracy, royalty, warfare.
It is only relatively CURRENT rapid RATES of GLOBAL climate change, this time around induced by GLOBAL human activity, making climate change repercussion so imperative, since climate change exists as a fact of life on this planet due to multiple exogenous causal factors.
Since humanity began our species modified, changed, altered, a natural environment on which all life depends thru construction, agricultural, fishing, hunting, WAR, disease, etc.
In past times, these changes comparatively were limited, LOCALIZED.
In more recent years, this past century or so, these changes, the ECONOMIC SYSTEM, on which all predicated, became further integrated.
CHINA was, FOR EXAMPLE, NOT swamped with vehicles.
They did much better with bicycles.
NOR LUXURY HIGH RISES, CONDOS, EXPANSIVE PRIVATE HOMES, cement, shopping malls, pavement, deforestation, EVERYWHERE, irrespective of areas ALREADY prone to recurring flood, fire, drought, earthquake, tornadoes, devastating hurricanes, cold, heat, natural disaster of all sorts.
Irrationality refers to an ENTIRE ECONOMIC SYSTEM, not simply hydrocarbon usage!
(I did NOT say fossil fuels BECAUSE NOT all are fossil fuels--a myth, like peak oil.)
It is HOW an integrated global economic system allocates its natural and human resources, energy being a critical component amongst many others.
It is, for example, WHY endemic, systemic, poverty exists, persists, both GLOBALLY AND DOMESTICALLY.
It is/are these CHRONIC SYSTEMIC imbalances, EXIGENCIES FOR CONSUMPTIVE CONSUMERISM, PRIVATE OWNERSHIP, PROFIT, speculative, CASINO STOCK MARKET gambling, which contribute together to EXACERBATE artificial man made CLIMATE CHANGE, changes to land, sea, human and natural resource exploitation, usage, development, resource allocation.
It represents an ENTIRE MODE OF PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION and NUMEROUS contradictions stemming from it, enumerated so well by Marx and others before me, including above, agriculture, food, housing, telecommunications, health, education, real estate speculation, energy, highways, cars, transportation, toxic garbage of all sorts produced, transported, from one to another place, for EVER GREATER TOXIC CONSUMPTIVE CONSUMERISM.
REALITY BEING WE EXIST TOGETHER ON ONE PLANET!
To quote a SIMPLE, but, true adage,
"I/we am/are our brothers keepers--ALL, not some, OF US."
Natural disasters existed long before we came upon the scene and will continue.
The question being HOW to cope TOGETHER.
ONE MORE RECENT, MAN MADE, HISTORICAL DISASTER ONLY AS EXAMPLE--a spectacular US Midwest Dust Bowl experienced during the 1930s precipitated primarily by HUMAN agricultural POLICIES driven, as usual, by PROFIT, stock market commodity prices, land speculation, development, RRs.
Only one.
Our present economic organization creates, as Marx called it, SURPLUS, redundant, populations, or, as NAZIS said, USELESS EATERS, INDIVIDUAL human value being proportionate to assets, a simple, fundamental, equation.
Individualism being an illusion, myth, perpetuated by THOSE PRIVATELY OWNING, APPROPRIATING, COLLECTIVE NATURAL AND SOCIAL RESOURCES FROM WHENCE THEIR WEALTH DERIVES.
THEY CONTRIBUTE NOTHING TO SOCIETY!!
THEY DO NOT GENERATE WEALTH, USE VALUE, LABOR ADDED.
They represent a PARASITE CLASS.
NOT TAX, BUT, EXPROPRIATION being THE ONLY answer.
Tax being a political POLICY evasion, diversion, expedient to ABOVE.
Power GIVEN THEM as long as they OWN everything, INCLUDING, BUT, NOT LIMITED TO, MONEY, i.e., a PRIVATELY OWNED US Federal Reserve system.
We are a social species building an ARTIFICIAL social construct to survive.
Our species grouping just got larger over an evolutionary time scale.
ALL living now are well past stages of primitive capital accumulation, integrated into global economies, more or less, one way or another.
NOT NATIONALISM NOR COMPETITION, BUT, COOPERATION, ORGANIZATION, PLANNING, being THE ONLY ANSWER to our collective survival.
Our present economic organization, PRIVATE, INDIVIDUAL, ownership of production and distribution, represents A FUNDAMENTAL CONTRADICTION to existing social and scientific understanding, practical applications to PRODUCTION, DISTRIBUTION, TECHNOLOGY, NATURE, RESEARCH.
Unless changed, QUICKLY, RAPIDLY, SOON, ALL to perish, some more quickly, others slowly.
Towards above ends, I have documented REPEATEDLY, on many posts, a FAKE US UMBRELLA LABOR UNION FEDERATION, AFL-CIO(CIA) & SEIU, who together, combined, BLOCK these processes BECAUSE THEY PARTNER WITH PRIVATE CAPITAL DOMESTICALLY AND ABROAD to keep LABOR POWER under control of PRIVATE CAPITAL AND OWNERSHIP.
We do, did, will NOT get EXPANDED NATIONAL, SOCIALIZED, FEDERAL, GOVERNMENT, MEDICARE FOR ALL BECAUSE a FAKE US AFL-CIA/SEIU LABOR FEDERATION WILL NOT TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS TO DIVEST ITSELF OF AND FROM PRIVATE HEALTH CARE BENEFITS, along with their PRIVATE CAPITAL PENSION INVESTMENTS.
They will NOT CREATE A UNIFIED, UNITED, FRONT!
Instead THEY BLOCK IT!!
So, THE AFL-CIA/SEIU MUST BE, either from within and/or without, CHALLENGED, REPLACED, OPPOSED, AND/OR, LIQUIDATED.
They have ZERO credibility here or globally and should receive NO support whatsoever, BUT, instead, GLOBAL CONDEMNATION for what they HAVE DONE, DID DO, ARE DOING, at home and their supportive participation in GLOBAL COUNTER-REVOLUTION!
