What do those who wish to reduce CO2 emissions while opposing nuclear energy propose instead? Wind turbines? Solar panels? In other words, a massively diminished quality of life for most people. Though not for themselves, of course. All in all, theirs is one among many interesting and important examples of just how debased the concept of the Left has become.
They don't want the working class to have high-wage, high-skilled, high-status jobs. They don't want people of modest means to be able to travel. They are hostile to the developing world's mostly non-white peoples' use of their natural resources in order to escape the horrific manner of life that most of today's Westerners' and white people's ancestors also endured for thousands of years?
So, by what bizarre stretch of the imagination are such people on the Left? Is it because they also happen to believe in abortion on demand, or in same-sex "marriage", or that fathers are nothing more than sperm banks and cash machines? Or is it just because, in those and similar causes, they have taken over the Labour Party?

ReplyDeleteVery good wording from you in the Grauniad today. Lenin once said that communism would be achieved by "Soviet power & the electrification of the whole counrty" - perhaps Lenin was a bit niave but at least in those days socialism stood for something progressive.
Lenin was rather worse than naive, Neil. The point of Socialism's progressive causes is precisely to prevent people from turning to the likes of him.
