imagine how much quicker and more efficient public transport would be if it didn't contain the bottleneck of paying fare at the front? if people could just shuffle on and find their seats instead of forming and waiting in a queue? if you could board the bus from the side door as well as the front door? imagine what better things those schmucks working fare enforcement could be doing with their lives.

imagine how much easier it would be for victims of domestic abuse if housing was free and guaranteed? if nobody was tied to their abuser through financial means and could just leave and start anew without fear of destitution? if childcare was a public resource given to everyone who has children instead of the sole responsibility of the two individuals that created the child?

imagine how many people we could feed if food was distributed directly for free as a matter of course instead of being shipped to stores to sit in purgatory on shelves until it's either bought, stolen, or thrown out because it didn't sell? imagine nobody ever having their life ruined because they were starving and shoplifted food to survive? imagine "shoplifting" (based as it may be now) becoming unheard of because there are no shops to lift from and everyone is already fed anyway?

capitalism kills human beings.

The devastation of nuclear colonialism, which permanently destroys Indigenous communities throughout the world, is outright ignored by some of the most devout climate justice advocates. They claim nuclear energy production is also a green solution to the climate crisis. More than 15,000 abandoned uranium mines are located within the so-called US, mostly in and around Indigenous communities, permanently poisoning sacred lands and waters with little to no action being taken to clean up their deadly toxic legacy. There are currently ninety-three operating nuclear reactors in the so-called US that supply 20% of the country’s electricity. There are 60,000 tons of highly radioactive spent nuclear waste stored in concrete dams at nuclear power plants throughout the country with the waste increasing at a rate of 2,000 tons per year. In 1987 the “US” Congress initiated a controversial project to transport and store almost all of the US’s toxic waste at Yucca Mountain located about 100 miles northwest of so-called Las Vegas, Nevada. Yucca Mountain has been held holy to the Paiute and Western Shoshone Nations since time immemorial. In January 2010 the Obama administration approved a $54 billion taxpayer loan in a guarantee program for new nuclear reactor construction, three times what Bush previously promised in 2005. In April 2022, the Biden administration announced a $6 billion government bailout to “rescue” nuclear power plants at risk of closing. A colonial government representative stated, “US nuclear power plants contribute more than half of our carbon-free electricity, and President Biden is committed to keeping these plants active to reach our clean energy goals.” They, along with Climate Justice activists cite nuclear energy as necessary to combat global warming, all while ignoring the devastating permanent impacts Indigenous Peoples have faced. There is nothing clean about energy produced from nuclear colonialism. From its weapons (including depleted uranium) to its mining and its waste; Indigenous bodies, lands, and waters continue to be sacrificed to heat water with radioactive materials which creates steam that moves generators to charge batteries made from lithium extracted from other Indigenous sacred lands so Teslas can move you forward into a “just” climate future. A green economy sustains and advances colonial progress, which means mitigated selective and ongoing destruction of Mother Earth.

The civilized have created the wretched, quite coldly and deliberately, and do not intend to change the status quo; are responsible for their slaughter and enslavement; rain down bombs on defenseless children whenever and wherever they decide that their "vital interests" are menaced, and think nothing of torturing a man to death: these people are not to be taken seriously when they speak of the "sanctity" of human life, or the "conscience" of the civilized world.

Fuck development

Many Liberals but also productivist socialists, especially Marxist-Leninists will praise & fawn over “development” & praise countries like China for development & mass urban projects, they view mass production & development as the highest stage of human cooperation.

“Development” isn’t just a neutral idea, it’s a human supremacist ideology that frames non-urban, ecological/green spaces as something evil to be fought & destroyed & conquered by human civilization. Urban civ is not the result of stateless moneyless voluntary cooperation, aka the society communism supposedly wants to build, but of centralization, war, colonialism, capitalism, mass coercion, so why would a “communist” be in love with development?

Well there are a few reasons, we are fed the idea that development = progress, & a lot of communists want to “progress” as in move away from traditional social structures like capitalism, nationalism & patriarchy, there is absolutely nothing wrong with hating capitalism, nationalism & patriarchy, but these people are confused with the idea that progress/utopia is when the world is covered in skyscrapers & high speed rails, so in addition to wanting to progress beyond reactionary structures they, because of what they’ve been told progress is, want to build more factories, more skyscrapers & more mines, they fail to analyze how extraction, production & development reflect an inherently capitalistic relationship to our earth.

Development isn’t a “progressive” ideology, if anything it’s reactionary, having historically & still being used to justify supremacist attitudes, colonialism/neo-colonialism & racism. If “the left” has a reactionary problem it’s productivists and/or Leninists, not eco-anarchists.
