“But liberty, as we all know, cannot flourish is a country that is permanently on a war footing, or even on a near war footing. Permanent crisis justifies permanent control of everybody and everything by the agencies of the central government. And permanent crisis is what we have to expect in a world which over-population is producing a state of things, in which dictatorship becomes almost inevitable.”
Aldous Huxley – 1958
Yeppers, all too, too true!
Note that capitalist economics has decreed that infinite expansion is both possible AND desirable.
Dr Samuelson’s classic college Economics 101 states that the economic pie is infinitely expandable. This is typical of the pure BS that academics w/o a grounding in reality believe and preach.
This dismisses all three of the Laws of Thermodynamics; it is the insane theory of an infinitely expanding planet to accomplish and accommodate all that out-of-control growth, which is what we normally call a cancer.
