[Marxism] Trawling the oceans to exhaustion

[S. Artesian]

So the "logic" is:

1. Oil is running out.

2. Protests by fisherman (and truckers I guess, and soon enough everybody as 
the lights go out) are selfish, short-sighted, useless.  And stupid.  It's 
like demanding the government do something about the amount of daylight.

3. The high price of oil is a good thing as it will delay climate change, 
and allow fish to replenish themselves.

4. The end of oil is probably a better thing as there will an even longer 
delay to climate change and even more fish.

5. The problem is the greed of the fishermen and not, of course, capitalism.


There is a point of demarcation between Marxism and "radicalism," where the 
latter converges with a sort of reactionary naturalism.  Monbiot's "logic" 
is just such a convergence.
