[Marxism] The Value of Remaining Wilderness

[Macdonald Stainsby <mstainsby@xxxxxxxxx>]

Very important article that recently appeared on the A list. The webpage has
great graphics as well, detailing where oil exists on Turtle Island..

As usual, the main weakness is that it puts primacy on environmental
concerns on their own right, which is fdair enough, except that it makes no
mention of resistance to genocide and assimilation for indigenous nations
that leads much of the struggles (in both Canada and The United States/Alaska).

Here's a brief excerpt:

ANWR is only the most noticeable tip of the iceberg here, as the White House
and Congress are working together to open our entire remaining wilderness to
resource production. Other prominent targets include opening protected lands
in the Rocky Mountain fore-thrust and elsewhere to energy production, and
opening all of our national forests to logging (in doublespeak language, in
order to protect them from forest fires). Nor is this madness confined to
the US. Canada is preparing to rip up much of Alberta in order to reach the
precious tar sands. In the process they will create a new mountain range
composed of tailings, and the world's largest waste water reservoir.
