The Good News is that the inevitable Malthusian Crisis will create massive support for InterNot Socialism.
The Bad News is that Socialism will fail in the face of the Malthusian Crisis because you cannot redistribute resources that are not there.

Multhus theories are nothing but classist crass

We need to seize power yesterday.

Marx already debunked Malthus, there will be no malthusian crisis
Owen Murphy
Did Marx predict a civilization dependent on oil and petrol products? Please elaborate on how Marx debunks Malthus.

Peak food production may have already been reached.
Carter Howard
In Capital Volume 1, Chapter 25 I think. This is a nice summary though of the marxist take on Malthus though. colorado.edu

Thank you.
Sebastian Cruz
Brah that bullshit has consistently proven absolute bollocks.
Lucas Taylor
Does that include fracking tho?
Kayden Gray
Yes it includes fracking fracking produces about four barrels of oil for one barrel of oil worth of energy used. The old gushers in 1900's Pennsylvania produced one hundred barrels of oil for one barrels worth of energy expended. This is called diminishing returns.
Isaac Miller
If it puts peak oil at 2010, then it was probably made before 2010, and fracking production started to come online in a big way after 2012. Fracking has existed since the 1940s, but the omnidirectional drills that have allowed the development of oil fields in the upper midwest are a more recent development.
Adrian Richardson
addendum:>>2216952 is absolutely right, but the chart doesn't really account for new fracking developments (not that they won't be drained in a decade)
Eli Rogers
Malthus a shit.
Carter Adams
All of which fall into the idea of diminishing returns more effort for less oil. Fossil fuels are finte
Ethan Baker
Okay.. Maybe you can find a replacement for oil. Maybe you can get science to boast crop yields even more.
But can you find a substitute for water?
Ryder King
Desalination plants.
Ethan Campbell
Sure.. More diminishing returns. Have fun pumping sea water all the way to Kansas wheat fields and Iowa corn fields.
Jordan Hill
Malthus will be proven right at some point, probably within our lifetime and there is nothing you can do about it.
Robert King
No Revolution can succeed without the aid of professional military. Militia couldn't stand up to regular army doing the time of muskets and have no chance in our high tech age.
Jaxson Roberts
around 20% percent of the world's population consumes 80% of the world's resources. We might have a resouce crisis but it's not related to overpopulation.
Isaiah Watson
military forces can quickly give up fighting the people, especially under a strike since they are sustained by the workers.
Also soldiers are not policeman and tend to have some compassion for the citizens.
Isaac Evans
Tell that to the Paris Commune
