All of this ridiculous conspiracy theory about Marxists communism from the extreme right wing, Christian KKK groups of the USA and their multiple websites of cross referenced phony science are only put up as smoke and mirrors because the overwhelming science on climate change has crushed them to the point they cant refute the science, they can now only divert attention with more conspiracies for the persuadable folks to spread.
The theory I would like to put forward is that it is the oil, gas and coal companies funding the subterfuge with their billions of dollars a month income from fossil fuels to keep the massive revenue rolling in. That's the real story here.
The science on climate change is real.The rest is smoke an mirrors.

I love how in the face of over-whelming evidence of socialism's failures in countries like the USSR, China, Cuba etc the useful idiots refuse to accept the facts: "oh that's not socialism, that's communism".
Right. Because if only you got the right people, the nice people, in power then none of that would have happened.
Both socialism and capitalism have succeeded and failed in many countries. The nordic countries are of course a shining example of socialism's successes, capitalism was introduced to Russia after communist USSR collapsed, and if you ever want an example of hyper capitalism 90s Russia is it. Mexico is a shining example of capitalism failing, or is that an example of "oh that's not capitalism, that is crony capitalism"?
And on and on. You can pick example of failures and successes for both systems.
What you'll find is that some entities work best as privately owned enterprises, and some entities work best as state owned enterprises. And sometimes a mix. Tech companies, schools, resources, media, military, law, energy, transport are all examples to think about. Some work better as public entities, some work better as private entities, sometimes it's either/or, and sometimes it will vary from culture to culture.
True. It's the mix that makes the sum of the parts greater than the whole, and the over-riding secret to the success is the freedom of the people and how answerable the government is to them. You won't get that under a totalitarian government, regardless of which way it leans.
Exactly. There is a lot of conflating socialism with totalitarianism here. They are not the same thing. Totalitarianism is not politically constrained to the left or the right. You don't see any totalitarianism emerging from the "socialist" Nordic countries and their ilk but what you do see is a high standard of living for nearly everyone.
The US on the other hand is fraught with huge inequalities, limited access to healthcare, second rate education, decayed infrastructure, staggering national debt, and a state of authoritarian excess cultivated by anti-terrorism, a terrorism aggravated by their own stupid irresponsible war making, which in turn seems to be a product of capitalist opportunism. Their right wing extremists are sticking their heads up and claiming proprietary ownership of "patriotism" and yet the hazard is "socialism". Argh... Is it any wonder they were so easily conned by Trump?

Not sure I would call it a conspiracy
It is not a secret
The socialist are quite open about wanting a high taxing one-world totalitarian socialist government.
Why do you feel the need to lie?
"The socialist(s)" are many millions of people, of many differing views. A very, very small proportion of them - none that I have actually heard of - may want "a one-world totalitarian" government, but what you wrote was a complete and utter lie.
Why can you not discuss things honestly? Why do you have this compulsion to lie, and why can't you be smart enough to make up lies that are believable?
If you are a socialist you are either a global socialist or......
A national socialist !!!

Some of them are dead, some are still alive. All of their wealth is still in existence and has likely increased and is now in the hands of their offspring.
That however is avoiding the point which was that the ultra elite have a history of financing socialism. And communism.
They doubtless had or have good reason for doing so. It may strike you as counterintuitive but there was an astonishing amount of money contributed to the communists from the banking community in the United States. And the UK.
Literally hundreds of millions of dollars .
Being given or loaned to a regime whose catch cry was the destruction of capitalists.
I'd venture to suggest that these people know what it is that they are doing.
And the help was not just limited to funding. The transfer of technical know how developed in the west was neatly handed to the USSR on a plate.

Interesting amicus brief from three climate scientists from prestigious universities, one worked for Obama, another for BP, so they cross a significant part of the political spectrum.
please search for " Koonin Hopper amicus brief" to get the range of conversation on their submission.
Some websites have only 3-4 pages. This one has the whole brief.

You are not wrong, completely.
All of what you said was done to get a piece of the pie when the USSR was carved up. Which they got, especially on oil and gas. Russia still thinks/knows that Gorbachov was paid to break up the USSR.
Putin and/or mafia simply took the oil and gas resources back.
This is of course no secret at all.
North Korea is next in sight. It's why we are hostile and friendly at the same time. If/when it collapses or opens up the takings for capitalist are ginormous.

There is repeat on later in the early hours of the morning. 6-7 minutes from the end they make another outrageous claim,and I repeat......"the sea is predicted to rise 6 millimetres a year".
6mm a year is 60mm in a decade. 60mm is 6cm. In 50 years that is a 30cm increase in the sea!!!
A two and a half foot rise in the sea in the next 50 years - little wonder then we are seeing a whole generation scared as fark
Its based on fear and sadly their farcical claims are gaining a foothold evidenced by the recent half a million protest in Montreal.
