As for reverting to socialism, there are still remote South Pacific islands that exist in perfect harmony with their environment. Not by any other means than coexisting with themselves and nature. Perfect socialism, not that they’d know it.
pulling our socks up isn’t going to cut it anymore. Less consumption, less expansion, more conservation might give us a chance. We have no idea what pathogens are waiting to cross over in pristine Rain Forrests. And that is very Gaia, and very scary....
Is it mass extermination though when it occurs due to a natural occurrence? If the next one is a big one, say 60%+ fatality rate, is nature the Nazi? I’m not welcoming anything, nor have I suggested anywhere this needs to be such an event, just that we are causing unnecessary damage, due to media hysteria and a rudderless U.K government. You seem to have a pet peeve with the capitalist structure we live under. We don’t live on a Pacific Island by the way, not too sure Pacific islands have a health service and state pension system financed to the time of 240 billion pounds a year either, funded through the collection of corporation tax and income tax/NI for individuals working for those corporations.
