What is an honest, no-bull assessment of the state of the Earth's environment?

Just to give you an idea: there is a landfill the size of Texas in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Look it up. I'll give us 50 more years until we're living in our own shit if the neoliberals continue to rule the world.

Skip to 9 minutes. I'm neuroscientist and I can confirm what this video says is true (as far as human nature is concerned).

That's beside the point, a proper Socialist government would be owned by the people (like in Venezuela, except for the opposition states).

The Venus Project might interest you. I.e. Right now it is completely possible to make a 100 story tower that holds 2 acres of plants via hydropnic water and nutrient supply. These can also be fully automated to harvest itself. There is nothing more sustainable than that.

It's a very common name in the Spanish speaking world and seems very acceptable.

I really dislike my sister too, there is a plethora of reasons but one thing that immediately comes to mind is my sister's ability to dish out insults but can't even handle the slightest joke when its on her. Like many people do, my family and friends throw around joking, facetious insults at each other, and my sister takes every oppurtunity to make fun of someone (i.e. apparently listening to Belle & Sebastian makes me a girl but if I say garage punk music sucks she takes personal offense). But even the most facetious joke makes my sister's self-esteem implode. She also thinks she's right all the time, and has the GPA of a 2.3 at a community college to back it up with. It's not hard to cope with, I just ignore her, her problems are not mine.

Psychiatric treatment has shown no effect on reducing antisocial behavior (ASPD), and studies have shown that it is even detrimental (gives sociopaths better insight on their condition). The OP should probably kill themself before he/she does any damage to society. MDMA might help too as an alternative.

I can't wait to see how the world pans out in the next decade considering the succuess Venezuela is having under Chavez. My only concern is the neoliberal model for dealing with economic problems is war (i.e. WWII broke the great depression).

Remember, quality of the economy =/ standard of living

And Hugo Chavez is not responsible for corruption, that's simply a cultural thing that needs to be phased out over time.

An inflation does not matter either, as long as people have access to resources.

I don't believe in assigned labor but I believe in mandatory labor in the field of food production, medicine, energy production, education, and housing maintainence. Things would be automated as much as possible so that human labor input is kept at a minimum. All labor required to meet the (necessary) demands of society would be distributed evenly and each person who contributes would have access to everything the society creates (in the way of housing, food, education, and medical attention). This system will give everybody much more free time to do as they please, so I feel like it is a good trade off for "freedom". The education system in such a society would be geared towards helping society as a whole rather than praising the success of an individual.

Food can be provided by skyscrapers, you can fit one acre into a 50 story building. These structures can be fully automated to harvest the food itself. If you're an engineer and a socialist you should look at Jaques Fresco's designs.

I don't care that hating Obama is trendy, he's a sold-out piece of shit. I'm not going to give him credit for an issue that is a no-brainer or that he uses for campaign leverage.

I hate how the liberal media tries always to shift the blame to Republicans; both parties are completely sold-out corporate tools except for a handful of individuals (i.e. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich)

I know, the book didn't even need to end like that. It felt like adding on a chapter to any given book and being like "oh yeah, everyone dies".

That's true, his only criticism is the increase in crime in Venezuela although it is due mainly to FARC moving into Venezuela, ignorant people tend to think correlation = causality. As for anarchist, they piss me off too. True anarchy is not pragmatic.

I'm a Socialist and I think Hugo Chavez is great. This confuses me too.
