  • It’s almost like the only solution is to de commodify housing everywhere, globally, and provide everyone shelter because it’s a human right and so clearly works to fix many mental health problems.

    It’s almost like C A P I T A L I S M does not inherently provide a good living standard to everyone, and allows the very wealthiest to pit us against each other in a rat race to the bottom. “Decommodification means someone will take your house!” No. It means you’ll always have a place to live and enough housing will be built to support the entire population. It means that billionaires will have to give up their extra homes.



  • Fairy creek was pretty much the last of the old growth forests on Vancouver Island (other than a small amount of parkland). That shit is never coming back, not for 5-10 generations, possibly not for a thousand years. And that’s only if the land is left untouched to recover (which it will not be). I have personally seen the devastation of the island in rural areas. Along the highways the forest is left in tact, but just a couple metres away it is entirely clear cut. They hide it from us because people would start to care if they knew the truth.

    The benefit? Large sums of money for a few wealthy individuals. The leader who saw this through retired and is working for the forestry industry now. And the wood from these precious trees? Turned into guitars and other embellishments. An utter waste of a non-renewable resource. They could have logged any second-growth forest for this.

    Never forget that it was the BC NDPs that did this — the supposed leftist, environmentalist party. Reformist politicians and the entire parliamentary system needs to be shed. Voting for them has never worked and never will work.

    Gain some class consciousness.

  • What will this industry look like in 10 years? How about 30? Will other business try to move in when they discover how profitable this industry can be? Will all the capitalists follow the same rules that this guy is following?

    There are entire Caribbean islands that no longer have sand beaches because they were trucked away illegally by concrete companies.
