Letters to the Editor: A ridiculous comparison of environmentalism and communism (via latimesopinion )
on environmentalism by comparing it to socialism and communism. The rhetoric could have been taken straight from one of those 1950s anti-communist pamphlets.
Environmentalism actually stems from grass-roots efforts. The writer’s sympathetic “struggling productive class” seems like a euphemism for conservative business owners who feel they deserve to pay lower tax rates than wage earners.One letter writer claimed that “environmentalism is cut from the same cloth as socialism and communism.” It “wants to cheat the productive class out of having nice things.
What nice things are they? Yachts, mega-mansions, dishwashers, cellphones? Why would that be bad? Because the rich people would still have these things? The fallacy in this argument is that the writer failed to apply the basic idea of communism: All people have more or less the same, and there are no “rich people.” So everybody or nobody has nice things.
