No jokes, please. This is serious business: ON THE SWEETNESS OF STALINBRO 
TEARS, CENSORSHIP, GATE-KEEPERS, LIFE BANS, AND PIRATE SCAB PDFS (

Seriously, though, two points: 1. it is no reflection on Grover Furr that Nick 
Fuentes wants to read his books. 2. It is disappointing but not surprising that 
John Bellamy Foster is salivating over Gabriel Rockhill in their Youtube 
discussion.

Maybe it's just my opinion but I don't accept that JBF's "metabolic rift 
theory" is entirely his. I don't mean because it originates in Marx. I think 
the key moment in the emergence of JBF's theory was a critique by Paul Burkett, 
who in reviewing JBF's 1994 The vulnerable planet : a short economic history of 
the environment wrote, "What emerges — and I think Foster's exposition could 
have made this more explicit — is a dynamic view of each capitalist stage as an 
organic whole whose internal socio-economic and ecological contradictions and 
conflicts condition subsequent stages of the global people-nature metabolism 
and corresponding struggles." To Foster's credit, he took Burkett's critique to 
heart but I don't believe he ever understood "his" theory as well as Burkett 
did.
