Now I don't mean the idealistic, everyone works together and shares everything kind of communism. I mean the actual, historical, massive government, government control, lack of freedoms communism.
Almost every actual environmentalist I have met, or read their writings, has advocated less federal govrnment and more local control and self reliance as a means to reduce our environmental impact. I say almost, because I might be forgetting one or two that didn't because they were so overshadowed by those that do. So where did this idea that all environmentalists are pro big government and want to take peoples individuality away come from?
It seems that the people who are most against the "green movement" because of their fear of government intervention (IE authoritarian government) might have more in common with the environmentalists than they realize.
