Environmentalists view on our Children's Birthright - Communism

"In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: "Abolition of private property."

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.

3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

Karl Marx and Frederich Engels - The Communist Manifesto 1888 edition

"To keep global resource use within prudent limits while the poor raise their living standards, affluent societies need to consume less.

Population, consumption, technology, development, and the environment are linked in complex relationships that bear closely on human welfare in the global neighbourhood. Their effective and equitable management calls for a systemic, long-term, global approach guided by the principle of sustainable development, which has been the central lesson from the mounting ecological dangers of recent times. Its universal application is a priority among the tasks of global governance."
United Nations - Our Global Neighborhood 1995

"...The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States.
