Ted Turner urges global one-child policy to save planet

• theglobeandmail.com/
 
Mr. Turner – a long-time advocate of population control – said the environmental stress on the Earth requires radical solutions, suggesting countries should follow China’s lead in instituting a one-child policy to reduce global population over time. He added that fertility rights could be sold so that poor people could profit from their decision not to reproduce. “If we’re going to be here [as a species] 5,000 years from now, we’re not going to do it with seven billion people,” Mr. Turner said. Former Irish president Mary Robinson warned that radical prescriptions for population control would backfire, ensuring that the subject will remain off the agenda of international climate talks. “If we do it the wrong way, we can divide the world,” Ms. Robinson said. “A lot of people in the climate world could communicate this very badly.” China boasts that its controversial one-child policy has helped limit emissions growth in that rapidly industrializing country. At the Copenhagen climate summit last year, national planning official Zhao Baige said Chinese population policy has resulted in 400 million fewer births since 1979, with a population that now stands at 1.3 billion. The lower birth rate converts to a reduction of 1.8 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, Ms. Zhao said.

 This is one of those rare articles that illustrates perfectly how reactionaries like Frosty Wooldridge and other white supremacists incl neo-NAZIs (as the original NAZIs) are, in fact, ultra-leftist reactionaries and ueber-collectivists.

Just who the hell does Ted Turner think he is that governments are instituted among men with powers to dictate the reproductive activity of their populations?

Just who the hell does Frosty think HE is that "We" have the power to control population reproduction - or what he calls "over"population.  (Over WHAT?  Over his arbitrary number and belief.)

The underlying principle that these ueber-collectivists believe in is the eponymous "WE" (whoever the hell that is, they are unable to specify - EVER) "have to" "do something" about people's reproductive activity.

HUH?  HOW?

Obviously THROUGH GOVERNMENT REGULATION.

The epitome of collectivism. Enforce your personal will via the collective governing mechanism on everyone and call it and brand it an action of the "We".

This IS the leftist fascist tactic.  This IS collectivism.  This IS shared by Ted Turner, Frosty Wooldridge and, yes, JT ready the neo-nazi.

Once the collectivist human haters get their "we" imposed, then comes the next step which is that some "we" are better than other "we" and the better "we" then needs to dictate how to "ration" resources between the good "we" and the not-as-good "we".

And the substratification continues until the collectivists are consigned to the dustbin of history and free people emerge again to do whatever the  hell they want (as long as they aren't hurting others) and re-institute government among men to protect certain inalienable rights of life, liberty and the protection of private property.
