I fully agree. "Water deplation", "mass pandemics", human genocide, "malthusian
dieoffs", famines, poverty, are not *rational* by any human standarts, *but*
they are *rationalized* and *normalized* by the ideological (security) weapons
of capitalism. What should we do, Mark? What should we do when men like E. O.
Wilson and his scientific followers come up and say *malthusian dieoffs* in
Africa are the result of structural genetic illness and African people's
cultural (or racial) backwardness/inability to sustain their population, and
then take a considerable support from the majority of the scientific community
in the name of science?


comradely regards,
