Then do we a) Forget about it? b) Petition the capitalist class to save us, though they can't? c) Or what the hell is your proposal for action? It really seems to me Mark that you and Lou are no longer interested in socialist action but merely in presenting poetic images of our end. ))))))))))))))))) CB: Myself, I am still very interested in socialist action. But I don't see Mark and Lou's theses as in contradiction with socialist action. It seems to me that they are just giving a new , potent reason that we must overthrow capitalism. Along with all the old problems that capitalism causes, now we have the problems of catastrophic pollution and depletion of resources. Only a world socialist system is capable of devising and implementing a humanie solution to catastrophic pollution and depletion. So, Mark and Lou are adding urgency to the need for socialist , political action.
