Re: [Marxism] The Prophet Misarmed: Trotsky, Ecology and Sustainability



"Humanity has no spontaneous craving for mayonnaise, coffee, ice cream or
90% of the commodity form of foodstuff."

Bet your wrong. First, I know that I had spontenious cravings for two
named commodities above and it was my *learned* cultural response
against one that I don't use it (mayonnaise).

Actually, Waistline, I think your would be right if you said that
humanity has no INNATE cravings... many cravings are in fact
"spontaneous". Only sugar is innately built into mammals. I can remember
STILL when I had lobster the first time. You don't need to have a
'culture' to rouse the taste buds, especially when dipped in butter...I
think the 'cravings' are almost all spontaneous.
