April 22nd Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov’s Birthday—Oops ‘Earth Day’
by Malcolm T. Hedges (4/15/10)
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin headed the Soviet state during its initial years (1917–1924)*.
“Communism was replaced by the threat of ambitious environmentalism.” Czech President Vaclav Klaus
“His book, Blue Planet in Green Shackles, published by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, charges that the movement to “save” the environment has been taken over by ideologues who favor total government control over our lives. He says it can be considered a form of communism, socialism or even fascism. Whatever you call it, the result will be the extinction of human freedom.

“...Klaus writes that “The environmentalists’ attitude toward nature is analogous to the Marxist approach to economics. The aim in both cases is to replace the free, spontaneous evolution of the world (and humankind) by the would-be optimal, central or - using today’s fashionable adjective - global planning of world development. Much as in the case of Communism, this approach is utopian and would lead to results completely different from the intended ones. Like other utopias, this one can never materialize, and efforts to make it materialize can only be carried out through restrictions of freedom, through the dictates of a small, elitist minority over the overwhelming majority.” ( http://www.aim.org/aim-report/the-new-communism/ )
“It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in 1970"**
