Blog: It's All About System Change (to Socialism), Not Climate Change:
It is finally out in the open.  
Environmentalism in America has been completely co-opted by the International Socialist Organization (ISO) and the Communist Party USA.  
Climate alarmism is all about killing capitalism and replacing it with a left-wing dictatorship.  “Climate change” is the vehicle to rally useful climate idiots. 
“System Change Not Climate Change” is the new rallying cry for a socialist revolution.

PJ Media’s Zombie writes:

Communists along with a few environmental groups staged a “People’s Climate Rally” in Oakland, California on Sunday, September 21, in conjunction with the larger “People’s Climate March” in New York City on the same day.

Wait — did I say communists? Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?

Well…no.

At the New York event, many people noticed that gee, there sure are a lot of communists at this march. But in Oakland — always on the cutting edge — the entire “climate change” movement at last fully, irrevocably and overtly embraced communism as its stated goal. Any concerns about “optics” or operating in “stealth mode” were abandoned.

The “climate change” “crisis” is now nothing but the latest justification for “total revolution” and getting rid of capitalism forever.

Has socialism/communism proven to be a better steward of the environment than capitalism?  NRO’s Kevin Williamson sheds some light on the topic:

Under a system that imposed heavy government regimentation upon the economy, direct government ownership of the “commanding heights” of the economy (and the commanded heights, too), a socialist vision of property, etc., the environmental results were nothing short of catastrophic. Setting aside the direct human costs of socialist environmental policy in the twentieth century — the famines, the deformations, the horrific birth defects — socialism was a disaster from the purely environmental point of view, too.

Mr. Williamson goes on to describe some horrific examples of environmental disasters wrought by the leaders of socialist governments during the twentieth century.  His article is worth a read.

Since capitalism is an economic system separate from government, as opposed to socialism, there are    checks and balances in place.  Some of these come from government regulation (which ideally should be minimal), but are primarily derived from the forces of competition within the market.
