    It is no accident that April 22, Earth Day, is also the birth date of Vladimir Lenin, an acolyte of Karl Marx, the lunatic who invented communism as an alternative to capitalism.

    Earth Day is naked communism.

    To begin, it substitutes a worship of the Earth, Gaia, for the worship of God, creator of the universe and the instructor of moral behavior for mankind.

    The Earth does not demand a moral code of personal behavior. Indeed, the lesson it teaches is "the survival of the fittest "and an indifference to suffering. The "natural events" mankind fears most all involve the potential for significant loss of life and for injury.

    The Earth is a beautiful place, but it is utterly merciless. Man has learned to adapt to it and, by adapt, I mean to use its resources to build shelter and protection from it, to plant and harvest crops from it, and to domesticate some of its species while hunting and fishing for others for food.

    Earth Day postulates that man is the cause of harm to Earth by virtue of his cities, his highways, his use of its sources of energy, and even the garbage that results from the normal course of maintaining life. For centuries mankind routinely burned and buried garbage. Now we are told we must separate and recycle it. We are told that everything plastic is bad even though it is one of the great inventions of modern times.

    Communism reached its zenith in the last century. Its imposition in the former Soviet Union, in China, and elsewhere is a litany of murder and oppression. In the 20th century, a minimum 110 million people died as a result. It enslaves mankind wherever it can.

    Environmentalism has been built on the foundation laid by communism because both exist to control everyone's life. They are opposite sides of the same coin, both are opposed to the ownership of private property and both regard man as state property to be drained of his earnings through taxation.

    Environmentalism's preferred method is coercion and the mechanism for this is government.

    While America was established to ensure "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," environmentalism exists to exert more and more control over our lives by limiting our choices, our liberty. Environmentalism redefines happiness as doing without the advances of science and commerce that protects and prolongs our lives.

    There is nothing voluntary about environmentalism.

    There is nothing voluntary about having to recycle. There is nothing voluntary about having to fill your tank with a mixture of gasoline and ethanol. There is nothing voluntary about the imposition of mileage standards for cars. There is nothing voluntary about losing access to beneficial chemicals that control countless insect and rodent pests that spread disease and destroy property.

    While the vast majority of Americans clamor for the government to permit access to our nation's vast natural resources of coal, oil, and natural gas it stands in the way, claiming always that drilling and mining pose a threat to the environment. At the same time it acquires more and more of the nation's landmass to deter access and economic growth.

    In the name of the environment, the U.S. government is set to impose a Cap-and-Trade law on Americans that has no basis whatever in science and is, in fact, based on the greatest hoax of the modern era, "global warming."

    Cap-and-Trade will tax energy use and directly control how much energy individual Americans can use to heat or cool their homes through "smart grid" technology controlled by the utilities, not the consumer.

    Environmentalism is the reason the U.S. has not had a single new refinery or nuclear plant built since the 1970s. Think about that every time you drive your car or turn on the lights.

    The spread of endless environmental propaganda has been taken up by the nation's mainstream media and has infiltrated the nation's schools through its textbooks and other means of instruction. Earth Day will be the occasion for an orgy of media coverage.

    Just as communism failed the former Soviet Union and just as Red China abandoned communism as the model for its economy, environmentalism continues its relentless quest to deter economic growth and security in America. It is the infrastructure of a New World Order.

    Do not celebrate Earth Day. Denounce it.

    Caring about the planet you live on is not communism. Recognizing that our children and their children after them will have to live here too and so we'd better act like the responsible adults we otherwise pretend to be is not communism.

    It's ******n common sense.

    Russia abandoned communism, they did it of their own free will..It wasn't Reagan or any of the ideas from the US that killed it, they wanted change and negotiated a way to change..

    I realized what Earth Day was about after watching a commercial that showed United States as a glutinous pig and the message was to cease and desist from purchasing anything on Earth Day. I thought it weird that these people wanted to hurt our business community.

    Earth Day—A Christian Perspective

    April 22 marks the 31st celebration of Earth Day—an effort initiated to increase awareness about environmental issues. The founder of Earth Day, Gaylord Nelson, believes, “The fate of the living planet is the most important issue facing mankind.” In addition, the Earth Day Network (the coordinating body of Earth Day activities) seeks to promote “a healthy environment and a peaceful, just, sustainable world by spreading environmental awareness . . . .”

    While it is laudable to see humans exercising their God-ordained responsibility to care for the creation (Genesis 1:26–28 ), the above quotes show the prevailing view on environmental issues is skewed, as a proper Biblical foundation is lacking.

    First, the fate of the planet is, ultimately, not in the hands of mankind. While humans are responsible for caring for the earth (as per the “Dominion mandate” in Genesis 1:26-28 ), we are not in control of the earth. Rather it belongs to the Creator Himself (Psalm 24:1), who has made us His earthly stewards.

    Second, the fate of the living planet is not the most important issue facing mankind. Ultimately, this decaying system will be replaced with a new heavens and earth anyway (Romans 8:20–22; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1; Hebrews 1:10–12). Rather, the most important issue facing mankind is this: will the individual choose to acknowledge his Creator and be reconciled to Him? Romans 1:20 makes it clear that knowledge of God is, at least on some level, evident to all, so those who refuse to acknowledge their Maker are without excuse.

    The communists promised economic growth and equality too, and they delivered on none of it. The environmental state of China and countries who were a part of the Soviet Union is terrible.

    But if communism means not wanting the environment to collapse for the sake of burger production then I'm a communist. The position that mankind's industrial activity cannot change the world's environment is an insult to human ingenuity. You're absolutely right- the earth is merciless. Only someone who worshiped the Earth as some kind of perfect, loving habitat could ever believe it could simply remain pristine, forever, regardless of how much damage you do to it. The Earth will not care if our crops fail and we choke on smog.

    America is the "New World Order", and has been since the end of WW2. There is nothing about American economic growth that doesn't benefit the "World Order".

    This is great. Clear, factual, and scientific.

    What does Earth Day and Communism have to do with conservation?

    That's because they did not follow communism to the letter..The US had a poor environmental record also, but changed its course of it's awareness that people are more important than profit..

    Well, I think the connection between Earth Day and conservation is obvious, but between Earth Day and communism??? That certainly is a mystery.

    Every attempt at communism has either sputtered out or resulted in an unaccountable authoritarian nightmare. The ideal is irrelevant if reaching it is impossible, and the ideology is defunct if it doesn't provide a plausible and functional plan to get from here to there.

    Communism did give the slaves of the estate a chance to be more than indentured servants from the age of the Tsar..Social mobility is very important to creation of a great society..

    Egad. America is so dreadfully ignorant of the facts of history on this, and it is due to a national propaganda campaign over the last 60 years or more aimed at establishing a virtual taboo on any discussion of the pros and cons of capitalism and communism and socialism.

    They didn't practice the manifesto to the letter and deviated to become nothing more than authoritarian dictatorships..So no country has truly implemented communism in it's true form to see if it could succeed..Much like religion, all followers, to include leaders deviate from the word..

    We need a compulsory class on Marxism and its history to-date.

    It certainly looks that way...... Would the nuts also classify Arbor Day as "communism"?

    Some peasants got to be in charge- great. Wow.
    For the majority of people it was still a nightmare.
    There were republican advocates in the Duma, but the Bolsheviks won out.

    If communism doesn't have any mechanisms to defend against dictatorships then that's a fault of communism. If communism has the same functional reliability as religion then it shouldn't be used to re-create society.

    You notice that it has gone out of style, like monarchies..They ended up being the same dictatorships, and authoritarian..
    Yet these socio/economic/political systems have nothing to do with Earth Day...

    Since dates around the world overlap, these conspiracy theorist crop their heads up to utter acid laced diatribes from the bored existence..At least this year no one said that 420 was really potheads way of celebrating Adolph Hitler's birthday...
