Political Economy

If you don't involve environmentalism in your political-economic ideology than you have no place talking about the future of political economy.



This isn't a "you don't share my values, therefore you are wrong" kind of thing, this is a "your ideology is detrimental to not only the Earth, but to the survival of our species" kind of thing. Any production method that is motivated solely by something with no real intrinsic value which is driven by a need for "growth" or go broke - is not ecologically sustainable. This is indisputable and any reasoning based on intangible ideas such as "well what about freedom?" or "what about individuality?" only distracts from the incoming crisis at hand.



Seriously, our system is leading to potentially the end of human civilization as we know it. Post-scarcity society (the world after we've used up enough natural resources to provide sustenance) will see billions die, Mad Max style wars over remaining resources, and all the progress of the last 20,000 years of human civilization will be lost forever because the last 200 years we decided to become irresponsible and willingly ignorant despite all the information pointing out that this is unsustainable.
