The biggest issue being the centralization of food production combining with the loss of functionality of shipping logistics leaves about a 2 day supply of food and water. In urban areas this will escalate to chaos and death very quickly.

But you do realise this is all thoroughly petty bourgeois, narrow minded, ahistorical & individualist, & wholly rests on some imagined catastrophe that will destroy the population, so, when you or say your grandkids get ill, who will treat you?

There are a lot of big ecological bills that will come due sooner or later and will have a very disastorus effect. The point of "collpase now and avoid the rush" is to go ahead and adopt the praxis before there is pressure. I guess I don't see the issue with being prepared.

You're just preparing for a fantasy of isolated death, whereas we are preparing for the flourishing of humanity as a whole, and this is why we will be successful, and you'll just be easy prey.

The flourishing of humanity will never take place in industrial society. You will continue to build an open air prison and absolutely wreck the planenet as humanity becomes domesticated and sick in body and spirit. I don't want the death, but it's increasingly unavoidable.

Yes but again, listen: socialism is the superseding, or sublation of industrial capitalism, we take what is good, and discard what is rotten & bad.

This is very ambitious. If you're interested in some very careful and genius analysis of what is good and bad in industrial society and the level of control of this that is and isn't possible due to it's intrinsic nature: you gotta read Dr. Theodore Kaczynski on this subject.

I aint, you gotta read Lenin, or any Marxist for that matter, cos all of the few 'good bits' from the reactionaries you follow have been stolen from Marxist theory.

I'll read whatever you suggest after I finish my current work, but you gotta read Ted. It's only fair Phil.
