The Trotskyite’s revenge didn’t work. Environmental Trotskyites first focused on inventing enough imaginary problems to get their own tax-supported bureaus and agencies in Western governments. Political leaders quickly helped. WWII had generated unprecedented cash flows from taxpayers to governments. Officials in the 1960s thought environmentalism would help increase those cash flows.
They gave environmentalists national status with organizations like the EPA. Smaller bureaus of lesser Trotskyites sprang up, as if in response to very real problems, in the various states’ environmental “protection” agencies.
Their first lies were neither spectacular nor brilliant. They knew that sensing devices had been developed that allowed their “scientists” to measure parts per billion. That meant they could say anything was “polluted” with nearly anything.
Bitter, unhappy lawyers were incorporated into the movement to “show the bastards they can’t pollute our world”. Tiny, insignificant problems were magnified by friendly judges into massive fines and jail sentences. Clear lessons were sent. Anger and rage prevailed as jury after jury was urged to “teach ’em a lesson”.
Self-righteous concerns were magnified. Low-ranking workers were cunningly convinced to share the outrage and take part in lunacies like “recycling”. The vain and stupid were pleased to adopt beliefs and practices that got them praised, if only indirectly, by big stars.
Early “work” on air and water “pollution” showed how big their plans were. As those imaginary problems were made to “cleaned up ” with expensive equipment, problems disappeared and credibility waned. And, they still had not reached their goal of total control.
They began hurting their own cause. Some Trotskyites turned traitor. They were co-opted by big business and government. Bribes began to flow, enriching many Environmentalists. Those who felt their idealism had been betrayed were furious. Other environmentalists saw huge sums of money changing hands and were enraged because they weren’t getting any.
Corruption among environmentalists became rampant. Lies about global freezing and warming were so blatant, and came and went with such rapidity, that only marginalized fools believed them.
Less intelligent Trotskyites migrated to profitable parts of the movement and received enormous and obvious payoffs. They turned into families of organized crime, taking over garbage disposal, landfills, and other areas of the economy where laws kept competition away, raising profits to obscene levels. Many in the private sector complied; it was cheaper to pay Danegeld than to fight the Dane.
Trotskyites, as before, were soon marginalized by Stalinists. The huge mechanisms of a half-century of well-organized Stalinist activity in unions, government agencies, media, public education, and elected office allowed the Stalinists to hi-jack the funding mechanisms.
There are still some Trotskyites on the fringes. They burn down occasional housing developments. In dry, windy weather, they can be counted on to start massive brush fires. Forest fires are an obvious specialty. They still like to get on television threatening a few fishing vessels. They torch labs and throw paint on mink coats. Stalinists are happy to give them publicity, and a few crumbs, to the aging juvenile delinquents that remain hardened Trotskyites. They’re kept around. They may be needed again.
But, that’s all the Trotskyites have. Even Communists from South and Central America have gravitated to the secure funding mechanisms preferred by Stalinists. Chavez’s oil wells are a blue-chip asset, safe in Stalinists’ hands. Tattered bands of mountain guerillas in Bolivia and Peru are controlled by Trotskyites. Many wear torn and dirty T-shirts with faded pictures of Che.
Stalinists have won. Again.
So, oddly, does The Church. Many Communists have seen, and turned from, the two-faced God of lies and hate that forms the basis of Communism. Those who understand that love and truth are preferable than hate and lies often turn to The Church that is ever-pilloried for its devotion to love and to truth.
