### **Notes**

* This section was developed because of white settlers (or descendants of settlers) with vulgar Marxist education are ignorant about theories and dismisses personal experiences of people who don’t fit into their Euro-centric strata
* A more industrialised version of the USA would just kill the planet at the expense of the Global South
* A USSR version of Canada still would not address the exploitation of the Global South
* World already produces enough food for everyone, and most places can feed themselves. Reason for global hunger is because of capitalists in North America and Europe creating artificial scarcity and half is thrown away. Data shows Global North forces many countries in the Global South to over-export their agricultural production while very little food supplies remain to feed local populations. For some reason, a few Marxist-Leninists think we need to produce even more food under capitalism while maintaining the current wasteful bourgeois lifestyle instead of redistribution and communization *slash* communalism.
* Massive amounts of land goes towards livestock production and replacing concentrated animal feeding operations and industrial agriculture with decentralized economies (eg. high-yield agroforestry, permaculture, pastoral nomadism) or alternatives with lower carbon uptakes and lower water usage (eg. plant-based diets, subsistence hunting and fishing) would dramatically reduce our ecological footprint.
* Plant-based meats are the most efficient, considerably less resources. A recent independent life cycle analysis of the Impossible Burger found that it used considerably less resources (I assume this is true for all plant-based meat)
* Cell-based meat uses more resources than plant-based meat but is still significantly better than commercial livestock, especially in terms of industrial land usage.

* If someone calls themself Marxist confuses “overproduction” for “overconsumption”, they never read Karl Marx’s “Theories of Surplus Value” nor “Capital”. He writes about how capitalism over-produces as well as discusses and outlines the issues with producing more than what a person needs. Egg on their face if the person misinterpreting climate change anxiety brings up text about surplus value, and continues to make assumptions about other leftists being Malthusians. For fascist creep in the green left, see the section entitled “Green-brown alliances” which has different logical underpinnings.
* Giving white settlers an education in Marxism-Leninism without a program for  anti-racism, anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism and environmentalism is just workerism, Fordism or Taylorism at best and Strasserism or Nazbolism at worst
* If someone starts talking about under-consumptionism or infinite growth, they probably picked up the ideas from Lyndon LaRouche who used to be a Trotskyist then turned into a neo-fascist during the 1970s
