If we narrow it down to all organic life on the planet, the answer is: humans.
humans are part of the organic life on this planet (and since recently even outside) and your proposal would be pretty bad for them. fuck off ecofash
Youβre right, that it would be bad for humans. Iβm just looking at the big picture and what would good for it in the long run.
Humans already make similar decisions anyway. Certain part of the population will suffer so that another one can benefit. Occasionally, these sorts of decisions also lead to deaths. In an even larger scale, humans have also decided that certain animals and plants can suffer so that humans may thrive. Imagine if the ecosystem as a whole could make a decision like this about itself. Do you think the it would keep humanity, remove it entirely or maybe trim it down a bit?
But seriously though, humans are here to stay for the time being, and I prefer to keep it that way. Unlike Linkola, Iβm in no hurry to see disasters wipe out a portion of humanity.
so you realize that the problem isnt within humanity itself, but class division. those classes a social construct and can be overcome. join your local radical leftist organization, read theory and start fighting for a better world not only for humanity but for the rest of life as well.
What kind of theory do you recommend?
as a ml its firstly gonna be the obvious ones: marx, engels and lenin. marx style can be a little hard to read sometimes, but it will make you see the world with new eyes truly. i genuinely recommend this reading list.
hey thanks it's my list π
thanks comrade for your work!
Pls be kind on the internet child
