I keep reading all of these posts about Nader and Bush and
Gore and I have to wonder to myself, "How the hell can these people be
serious?"
We all sit back on these lists day in and day out and wonder
who our next dictator is going to be without ever challenging the fact that
is not only humiliating to be led, but that it also runs completely
contrary to any environmental sensibilty.
Nader is simply a
representative of the "Loyal opposition" who complain their asses off, but
then still happily prop up industrial civilization, capitalism, and
continued dehumanization. Tell you what, next time you see someone starving
in the streets, tell them you voted for Nader. It makes
no difference.
The only thing that does make a difference is
direct action. If we want to stop seeing the wild dissapear under the
death machine of industry, then we have to physically dismantle it and at the
same time provide an immediate alternative to those suffering. Of course,
this takes more responsibility than just spending 4 minutes every four years
voting for some new savior. Arming ourselves and our communities is much
more difficult than going to a ballot box, but it is also far more rewarding.
Feeding the poor or releasing animals from concentration camps
requires moving your ass away from the computer, but in the end I
guarantee it will do more good than giving your vote to any candidate that
ultimately will continue this death march that we are on.
So long as
there is government, there will be division of labor. In other words, those
of us at the bottom must work harder to produce surplus food and
housing for those on top. And then we need to build their homes and arm
their security guards, and be fodder in their armies. All of this production
is contrary to everything Earth Firsters should stand for. The fact is,
that unless we become far more primitive and abolish division of labor
(Everyone has the same job- gathering food and shelter for their community)
we as a species are dooming the wild and all of it's inhabitants. We don't
need Nader, we need an army to fight back against the bastards who are eating
this planet alive.
