My thoughts are, there are several ways to balance the sustainability equation, some may seem like more fun to one than another, depending on their values. My concern is that environmentalists seemingly have all their eggs in one basket, and that is not as effective as a more realistic approach. It's the mindless part that really bugs me. I'm not taking your bait. As long you are not a fascist, I don't care much.
Capitalism is one way.
Marxism is another way. That's a bit confusing, so I'll speak broadly. In my opinion, they all suck. The one thing they all have in common is the infinite-earth assumption. As far as I can tell, Marxism and Communism are also based on growthmania, Capitalism's sin is that it is merely more efficient at scraping the Earth bare.
