This article traces the origins of the population control movement as rooted in Malthus’s original theory. It then goes on to discuss it’s development and reemergence in contemporary politics and it’s manifestations within the “eco-right”. The article then demonstrates how the movement’s ideological underpinnings are based on racism [...]

Mick Brooks questions the method applied in the four-part
article by Brian Baker published this week. Brian Baker's article does not
proceed from a Marxist framework. It tries to show that human activity has no
part in climate change. Environmental problems such as climate change are
inevitable under capitalism and that what is required is a world socialist plan
that takes account of all the...

Today we continue the series on climate change,
with the final part of Brian Baker's article (global-warming-socialist-perspective-part-four.htm) together with a reply from Emil
Reed (emil-reed-replies-baker-climate-change.htm). We have received several emails on this question and some of our readers
are writing further contributions to the debate. From today anyone who wishes
to follow the debate can do so by going to the special link Climate Change
Debate (climate-change/).

We publish the fifth and final part of Mauro Vanetti's
article on Climate Change, which began as a reply to a contribution by Brian
Baker. In this part petit-bourgeois environmentalism is exposed as an unviable
response to global warming - green ideologies of abstinence simply play in
the hands of the ruling class. What is required is a genuine Marxist programme
on this issue, which is outlined at the end of the article.

We have received two articles contributing to the debate, Climate
Change – A Real Socialist Perspective (climate-change-real-socialist-perspective.htm), by Mike Palecek in
Vancouver and A
short balance sheet of Brian Baker’s article on climate change
by
Jeppe Druedahl in Copenhagen.

We continue Mauro Vanetti's article that looks at the
different points of view within the world bourgeoisie on the question of
climate change, and also explains that any real solution can only be achieved
through international planning, which is only possible on the basis of world
socialism.

For the other four parts:

This is the Winter edition of "The socialist" zine, with interesting articles
about the march on Burger King, Digital revolution that comments very fast about the
radical and underground movement on internet networks till the free software and open source days and why is Free Software ideal for a socialist to use.

About the Socialist Part:

The arguments used in Brian J. Baker's article to ‘debunk'
global warming are many, and some of them are in contradiction with each other.
Apparently, there are lots of blogs and websites (most of them run by
conservatives and even overt reactionaries) devoted to climate-change denial.
Most of their authors use the same set of arguments over and over again, and
the same stuff has been pasted in Baker's article. I shall try to reduce each
argument to its basic core.
