or “I TOTALLY SUPPORT THE ANARCHISTS DOING TERROR ATTACKS ON THE MARXIST-LENINISTS SAVING US FROM FASCISM!”
What a lack of Marxism-Leninism and historical materialism does to a mf. Literal kindergarten level leftism. These are the same people who will argue that it’s the Bolsheviks ackchually who made it possible for fascists to win the Spanish civil war by repressing anarchists (no sources provided)
I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just pointing out that alongside the things you listed as consequences of deindustrialisation, billions of people would also die from famine (which makes the other things look minor in comparison).
I didn’t take it as disagreement! I thought you were comparing the issues that would come with “no mass industry” with another equal Armageddon.
I get what you mean, caring about asphalted roads while we’re all starving to death is a bit “rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic”. Then again the Khmer rouge kinda did that, I think, and they had some odd priorities too.
