Anti-humans please go.
Daily reminder: Communism requires transhumanism.
There are deep ecologists posting on this board right now

I don't even own a smartphone because I'm too afraid of being tracked with GPS.

I wonder if we could infiltrate Holla Forums with an ecologically-centered shitposting ideology? We could call it "Primitive Nationalism"
"You guys who call yourselves na.zis are the tools of international jewry. The [[[internet]]] is a way to spread jewish ideas open to subverting muh hwite race. Only by destroying technology can we live in a specialized ultranational militaristic fascist nation. [[[electricity]]], [[[medicine]]] and [[[agriculture]]] were all developed by jews to destroy the hwite race."

Wrong. Communism requires not a complete break from the human, but a return to the human. Enjoy having your eyesight disabled by your iThink cortex due to violating the DRM while I'll be working on a communal farm with Kurdish qts

Then turn it off.
A lot of people seem to associate transhumanism with capitalism, proprietary software, etc. When this was never proposed by the original proponents. Read Fyodorov. The goal of transhumanism is autonomy, including from capitalism.
You joke, but that stuff is more common than you think. The whole organic food craze for example started with the Nazis.
Without transhumanism people can never transcend the economic relations that are a prerequisite for a modern quality of life. Democracy is not a guarantee for personal dignity, only autarky is.
And note that most Syrian Kurds have no access to plumbing or modern medical care. And how are they going to deal with climate change? Aggressive neighboring powers? Or just ensuring access to common modern conveniences?
Primitive socialism is not just undesirable, it's reactionary spookery.

I think communists at some point have to realize that our luxurious standard of living is not compatible with the planet's survival, and will not exist under communism. Sure Syrian Kurds have it rough right now, and obviously running water, electricity, shelter and healthcare is a must, but we really can't or shouldn't strive for any material standard of living outside satisfying those base necessities
By not contributing to it massively? How are you going to deal with climate change when automated self-replicating factories have turned all fertile land into concrete deserts? Transhumanism developed out of capitalism will only lead to reproduction of its logic

There is literally nothing wrong with Deep Ecology.
John Peterson
No amount of intelligent life is compatible with the planet's survival. Species have gone extinct before the first cities even emerged. A place like Australia used to be a lush jungle covered continent before 'primitive' humans burned it all down.
Then why would anyone want communism then? If it's just more of the same?
Do you socprims really believe this? Life is about more than just surviving.
Even if we stopped all emissions right now Earth would still reach catastrophic levels of warming due to all the greenhouse gasses we've already pumped into the atmosphere. The solution is global warming is geo-engineering. Anything else leads to the death of the biosphere.

By switching to hydroponics, by migrating to space, and thousands of other technological solutions that would actually let us preserve life on Earth and enjoy the fruits of scientific progress.
People since ancient times have dreamed of overcoming human limitations. It's hardly a new idea. What do you think inspired people to develop flight? The name has changed, but the ideal is as old as history.

Except it's not more of the same, it would mean freeing ourselves from the domination and relations imposed by capital and start living together as humans again.
Can't comment on this (or the part about Australia) since I'm not well read enough on climate change. Will read the study though
I agree, however life is about our relationships to each other, not our relationship to things.
New farming techniques and searching for new land to colonize have only lead to two things so far in recent memory: expansion of capitalism and destruction of the climate, I really don't see any technological solution saving us any time soon. Progress can still be made in philosophy and the arts, areas that transcend the logic of capital.
And what have that led us to? People suffering in nursing homes at the age of 90? Prozac to treat the stresses of modern life? I like human limitation, it's what makes us human in the first place.
