Cultural Appropriation

Fabian Socialists, including the famed H.G. Wells, after observing the horrors and failed utopian promises of the Soviet revolution, urged a peaceful means of persuading the free world to surrender its freedom.

In his book THE OPEN CONSPIRACY (1928) Wells proposes the propaganda of the socialists convince all men that all resources be communally owned, including the open seas, the wildlife, and any natural resources.

Behind his prose lurks the idea that act of using resources, any resources used for any reason, was sinful, shameful, and must be curtailed.

The writings of Malthus, warning that population should not be allowed to expand beyond the rate at which arable land was brought under cultivation, lest war or starvation be the only means to restrict the population to the available resources.

This is a perennial error of the socialist, and no amount of counterevidence nor argument can cure it. Hatred of population growth is based in hatred of people.

Use of resources was reinvented into the lifecrime of Theft from Nature. Lifecrime is the crime of being alive, or using resources to stay alive.

Modern scaremongering about overpopulation and human-caused harm to environment and climate has its roots in the Open Conspiracy propaganda convincing men it is evil and wrong to use resources, and to reproduce. It is lifecrime.

Neo Marxists delight in accusing Westerners of wrongdoing when we use ideas, or copy food or clothing or hairstyles from any mascot groups (apparently too weak to protect themselves from being imitated). They call this “cultural appropriation” and make it a thoughtcrime. It is a thoughtcrime of which only Westerners can be accused: no one accuses or condemns Japan for using airplanes, or India for using trial by jury.

“Cultural appropriation” is an extension into intellectual property realm of the same lifecrime as Overpopulation, or Theft from Nature.
