Personally, I have a remote lake house that's fully prepped and suststainsble. I understand that a neo luddite revolution is not likely. But it doesn't make any less right. Industrial society has 48 years at best due to ocean conditions, probably much less time.

Let me know how you get on the prairie when you get cancer.. Or any number of degenerative diseases only treatable by the 'magic' of modern human industry.

I don't have a problem dying following what is right, especially when there isn't another option. The "magic" of modern medicine is basically only good for curing what it causes. Ever had a dying family member trapped in it? It's hell.

Yea, idc really, its not about you, or me, its about the whole of humanity, thats what we fight for, whereas you only fight for yourselves (which is itself a tautology as there is no self without the other), and that's why you'll fail.

As I said before, I want I see as best for humanity and human flourishing. I just have a special care and stake in the future of my folks.

Sorry but they'll live shorter & shorter tortuous lives & die a miserable death without socialism, this is assured.

So do a preindustial socialism then. What made preindustial health so bad was the lack of the germ theory of disease. We have that now. Our lives now are tortuous, even for the average person who has more comfort than Caesar did. 3x life expectancy and meaning gone is awful.

Haha, its a contradiction in terms, capitalism brings the socialist proletariat into existence, to go back to 'pre-capitalist socialism' is to negate any possibility of socialism.

It would be post-capitalism, we aren't time traveling. Down, not backwards. A new future, inspired by the past in sync with and respectful if of the biosphere! Industrial and technological chains thrown off, barefoot proletarian girls dancing in the moonlight!pic.twitter.com/BTH9bAcZ2K
