future workshops and their ideological obscurantists
neo-Malthusian, Chicago Boys and the deep ecological war against the poor
Tobias Salander
For some time they shoot all over Europe like mushrooms. Every citizen who watch with their own eyes through the country and the countries of Europe travels, notes with surprise and irritation growing: almost everywhere formed in many communities, be they rural towns or cities, new structures, the with democratically anchored and resting on the ground of popular sovereignty established structures, institutions, and operating procedures have nothing in common. We are talking about the so-called "future workshops". In a significant uniform shape, they are knitted by a knitting pattern that every mature democracy and in particular the direct democratic experienced fellow occur Hispanic needs - or maybe not rather English, but the European, committed to the Enlightenment principle of democracy is alien to smell it after the Anglo-Saxon utilitarianism, if not even for an elitist Auserwähltheitsfanatismus economism and murderous - but with the a proven means can be countered: with a keen sense of citizens and the direct democracy!
"future workshops" - which at first glance from the daily stress may turn out seems no problem - who does not already thinking about the future? - Is already proving to closer scrutiny than cunning "top-down" strategy, which has decided to sell but tricky as "bottom-up approach. How is a handpicked group of private coaching, large group close trained social engineers at the normal local democratic institutions growing ever soar past as a steering group presumes, was in this newspaper described in detail. (See, Current Concerns No 32 of 8.9.2010)
-Controlled
something that players are here at work that have no idea of democracy is obvious, but probably considered too naive. Judging by the people who earn their money through the organization of "future workshops" to publish books and to solicit business for their actions, it is thoughtful. In particular, if one follows the footnotes in the said books, supports you and can not avoid to some Recherchierarbeit the impression that a well-organized to have something bigger going on. What makes a first in the local community by the way stripped, leaving an unpleasant impression at first because it Look strange and then voraufklärerisch mainly affects the achievements of popular sovereignty and representative of the principle of separation of powers and the principle of publicity is a mockery, with intense preoccupation with the windy and fishy matter to an extensive whole. Just as the thumb and forefinger, one might see only the respective fingers, still not have to infer the underlying hand, or the tentacles of an octopus, individually felt and Hide in the dark depths of the sea, not on a body and head, can one finds oneself in the future workshop before numerous appendices, which on closer approaching in the background into a thing lead, which obviously also has a control center - which may also themselves be very diverse and have again a very core of self-appointed chosen ones.
world population decimated
To the cat out of the bag: the reference figures of the self-appointed social engineers of the future workshops are ultimately in the large pool of the Anglo-Saxon utilitarianism to find chosenness faith neoliberal apologetics of "homo economicus" go hand in hand with advocates of deregulation, market liberalization and privatization, but also followers of Malthus that the world population through war, pestilence, famine, do decimating earthquake or dictated from population control and strongly to make the UN and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Front. Passing it should be with individual liberties, democratic structures, with cooperative approaches: in their place should the penalty occurred, the total privatization of all goods, the partitioning of the rich countries against the poor, the naked egotism and a primitive Revival of Social Darwinism. All beautifully wrapped in melodious words such as "use of increasingly scarce resources", "biodiversity conservation", "save the planet from the predatory man" or in short: "The tragedy of the commons."
revival of "Chicago Boys"
The interested reader is invited to take two of the "Future Workshop" strategists even mentioned theorists by their own writings on a closer look.
thus finds in the book "Dispatch future: miss, plan, facilitate, ..." 1 in addition to many simple knitted text attempts by would-be "future workshops"-local variables, for example, drawn attention to let end text of a certain Christian Mandl, entitled "certainty, risk, and new "(p. 261-270). Mandl, presented in the book include a management consultant, Professor at the Faculty of Economics at the University of Vienna and managing partner of the firm "metalogikon's true, in his essay in praise of the EU, the privatization of the public service, yes, the subordination of the entire economy under the dogma of the" Chicago Boys, "while urging the reader on, to negate the established democratic structures, to avoid them and put something new in their place. His suggestion is, of course with euphemistic phrases turned into a positive, bring people with methods of industrial psychology at its certainties to make it as a subtle, he stirred up fear of the future be able to control her better.
contempt of law
By providing a shortage of Resources brought about talking and starts from a reductionist, economistic primitive of man, he calls people to reconsider their choices and actions of the influences of rules, objectives and standards and thus to solve the predictability. This leads to uncertainty in the risk - and by infantilised the people he calls, and have nota bene, the man speaks of the destruction of our democratic state, should live it that way, "as we probably all lived as children: trying out things with curiosity, wondering what are the consequences of own actions, and sometimes "crying in pain. (P. 270) The age of certainty more so to the end. Mandl welcomed us in his "age of risk." It is as if there were no grown culture, no tradition, no law, no clearly defined democratic processes. For responsible citizens of the 21st Century, familiar with the rules of democracy, such proposals nothing but contempt and ridicule, the contempt of law, legal certainty, protection of minorities, etc. etc.
counter findings of the World Agriculture Report
That one in the interpretation of some legal language so next text from one of the bibles of Zukunftswerkstättler has hit the mark completely, unfortunately, will attend the consultation of the reference figures quoted by Mandl. He supported its call for the privatization of public service, which he subtitled "The tragedy of the commons", to the writings of Garrett Hardin, who in 1968 in the journal Science under the same Title2 and in countless other treatises on the assault against the social market economy, the cooperative principle and the common property, but also blew against the UN Declaration of Human Rights and as an avowed advocate of the inhuman ideology of Thomas Robert Malthus (1766-1834) came out. Malthus, an Anglican priest and professor of history and political economy in England, was notorious for his cynical, overtly racist theory of population. In his "Essay on the Principle of Population" of 1798 he set up a claim that has since been modified several times and finally refuted by the Weltagrarbericht3.
has worked out of the World Agriculture Report, that mankind is to feed very well and in much greater numbers, and best done by small family farms in the region, and was already at the time of Malthus, such as William Godwin, pointed out that productivity through technological progress is constantly improving, Malthus' approach so could never stand up to scientific criteria and is pure ideology, namely a murderous, - even if the so-called neo-Malthusian So long ago exposed as acting in a totalitarian instrument strategists, who uses the above-mentioned, by Garrett Hardin Zukunftswerkstättlern hyped nonetheless and with fervor and an incredible chutzpah as a central reference figure for the solution of problems of the 21st Century.
Malthus and the war against the poor
under the aforementioned title, "The Tragedy of the Commons' current and an essay of 1998 entitled" The Feast of Malthus - Living within Limits "(The Feast of Malthus - Life in of boundaries) 4 rehabilitated Hardin (1915-2003), Professor of Human Ecology, the genocidal, racist ideology Malthus in the 18th Century and they are praised as the panacea for mankind in the 21st Century - as if there had never been a National Socialism and all its side effects such as eugenics, euthanasia and genocide. The human race, the notorious fallacy of Malthus, obey blindly the law of unlimited proliferation, and that the number of people take in a geometric progression (2, 4, 8, 16 ...) that the food but only in an arithmetical (1, 2, 3, 4, ...). Which would mean that the stocks were not sufficient for the world's population and "Corrective" need such as disease, war, natural disasters, poverty and so Death to redress the balance. had repaid the following passage, which Malthus himself while in his later works, does Hardin out specifically to define them as the basis of his inhuman thought. Malthus wrote:
"A man who said he that is born in a previously unoccupied world if his family does not have the means to feed him or if the company's work has no need, this man has not the slightest right to any to require a portion of food, and he is really too much on earth. The great feast of nature by no means covers for him has been laid. Nature commands him to resign, and she did not hesitate even to execute this command bring. "5
genetic racial differences?
This view is from Hardin, this time between the late figurehead Zukunftswerkstättler, fully supported, only he would the term "feast" through the metaphor of the "lifeboat" replace. It was about saying what was in the military medical "triage" called, so the selection of people because of alleged lack of resources. Hardin is based on genetic racial differences among humans, calls for the world today birth control, which is can be enforced only under duress. Privatization of common goods do need, and must be found of the "dominant religion the last 300 years "away, the individualism of John Locke. The individual must give up his freedom for the Community (Feast of Malthus, p. 185 ff).
Against UN Human Rights Declaration
What Today Coming so Hardin, was a social revolution, or rather a counter-revolution, since they can be derived from earlier ideals. Today we need many experiments, and so must our species remain separate in many nations. Only thus could be carried out several experiments that would never be tolerated in certain states. What he means is clear: The "hollow talk of universal human rights" must end. This infamous frontal attack against the UN and the UN Declaration of Human Rights already Hardin rode in his essay "The Tragedy of the Commons" in 1968. He argued that although it is painful to deny the right of the family as the fundamental unit of society, but it should be. We feel, however, as uncomfortable as a resident of Salem, Massachusetts, which in the 17th century have denied the existence of witches. Especially if you love the truth, one must deny the validity of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, even if they are supported by the UN. Yes, you read correctly: human rights are nothing more than a delusional, just as it was the witchcraft 6 We do not like to continue in the writings of this! Garrett Hardin's article - so his argument is inhumane!
deep ecology and Council on Foreign Relations
But coincidence or not, in Foreign Affairs November / December 1995, published by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), under the title "The Rights of Nature: Has Deep Ecology Gone Too Far? »7 just this with the deep ecology Garrett Hardin put in context, but harmless as" classified. It's no surprise, but the CFR is just one of those circles who have been talking for some time and also work with most sinister clandestine methods to a decimation of the world's population and the neo-liberalism, the word - or even bombs or some things they rain down on countries that are not to add this "brave new world" willing.
These are the men behind strategists and background of those who are currently trying to democratic structures with their obscure "future workshops" overturn. With most primitive economistic reductionism that transformed the war against poverty in the war against the poor, said billions of people for simply superfluous, with force and violence, when reducing necessary but also with war and self-inflicted disasters mankind will - as has the French physician and former ambassador to Senegal Jean-Christophe Rufin in his historical novel has "100 hours" 8 is shown forcefully and warning: Insane deep ecologists, who deny the people everything, making him the man does, and him to a species among many degrade to a cancer that will decimate some self-appointed chosen one million times to deliberately spread diseases . A task, in comparison to what the Nazis have to appear as bumbling beginner.
Small-scale agriculture and cooperatives as the only viable way
While some with soft power and social engineering manipulation, we bombed the other and the third covers with one of the UN climate-changing banned weapons such as the Russian news agency Ria Novosti recently thematized's (See Time-No questions 33, 17 August), and the Uno from yes of related phenomena in terms of the floods in Pakistan and the fires in Russia.
Truly far we have come a man! And yet the majority of people do not want this madness. The forces of those who wish to maintain human rights, the right to life of all people are strong enough. The world's agricultural report, eloquent witness to the fact the award of the Nobel Memorial Prize to Elinor Ostrom for her work on the commons. Ostrom explicitly refuted in their writings the views of a sick Hardin, particularly in the book "Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action "by 1990.9 Their findings: Appropriate and sustainable management of local resources Allmen Dere by an institutionalized cooperation of local stakeholders is generally superior to a centralized state control and privatization.
effective: The world's agricultural report has shown that a small-scale agriculture, based on family farms is in a position to support a much larger world population than today. Famine are not inevitable, as Malthus and his disciples Hardin and Mandl down to the turned-local "future workshop" would have us believe. The modern period until today knows not a single famine, which would have been caused by overpopulation. It has always been dictators like Stalin and Mao Zedong, who sent millions of people in the planned ice-cold starvation.
So there is not a valid Malthusian formula, and thus no justification for forced population reduction. Likewise, there is a "tragedy" of the commons, on the contrary, the Genossenschaftsprizip a success story that was just in Switzerland, the basis for the democratic state-building from the bottom up and the direct democratic rights. Ergo, the reasons fall for the "future workshops" collapses. It is contrary to the Constitution of any law, to manipulate people by a random brandishing her fear of the future and cut short the democratic processes and structures to do. This would be a step behind the Enlightenment, behind the principle of legal equality and human dignity in long term and would open the door to a deep ecological genocide unprecedented proportions. After the experience of the Second World War and the countless previously led wars mankind should be wiser now and watch the error, as few people wanted to ask about the other commit no more. Not a second time
