The Disastrous Inseparability of Western Science and Capitalism

"Science, in its many powerful institutional manifestations, is now essentialized as an a priori source of truth, existing above economic interests or social determinations and exempt from historical or ideological evaluation. It is the one remaining mirage of legitimacy behind which global capital continues its rampage of planetary looting and destruction."

‘Green’ billionaires behind professional activist network that led suppression of ‘Planet of the Humans’ documentary

"We must take control of our environmental movement and our future from billionaires and their permanent war on Planet Earth. They are not our friends." - Jeff Gibbs, director of "Planet of the Humans"

The Militarisation & Marketisation of Nature: An Alternative Lens to ‘Climate-Conflict

"Far from addressing climate change and conflict, the market-based approaches emerging from the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and subsequent International Conventions risk intensifying global land conflict and environmental devastation, which build on the violence and history of political forests."

Greta Thunberg, Green Barbarism and #ClimateStrike

"Capitalism is “in danger of falling apart” and the bourgeoisie are here to save it. This is environmental activism brought to you by the captains of the industry."

Arundhati Roy: In This Blitzkrieg of Idiocy, Fascist Marches, Fake-news Coups, and What Looks Like a Race Toward Extinction – What is the Place of Literature?

But at the end of the day, capital and the state don’t hold a monopoly on innovation."

"...anything that emanates from the halls of power will be merely another ploy to maintain their control and fill the coffers of the uber-rich at the expense of the rest of us and the living earth itself. And they have no problem using the innocent passion of a 16 year old girl to hide all of their crimes."

Greenwashing? The Green Marches are Mute on the “War Factor”

"The movement for "climate justice" is a very profitable capitalist business line that turns the sensible struggle of people worried about the agony of our planet into a commodity, creating the illusion that the manufacturers of cluster bombs or white phosphorus are going to give up their benefits, at the stroke of "signatures" or demonstrations with music and dance."

Scurrying Fascist Cockroaches

"But in looking at the narratives today, the ruling class and their collaborationist allies in the bourgeoisie, have refashioned environmental concerns so that its truth is always about protecting capital and capitalism while the narrative is about their own virtues. It’s an investment opportunity. Nothing more."
