Monbiot warns of struggle with plutocracy


Plutocracy reigns supreme everywhere, including Shepparton, and even if it is not genuine members of that genre who rule, it is most certainly plutocratic pretenders.

George Monbiot.
Columnist with Great Britain’s Guardian newspaper, George Monbiot, has written about the influence of the plutocrats and how their ideology makes is impossible to address climate change.

Neoliberalism arose in the 1970 to become a force in world politics in the next decade and now their actions and beliefs put the humanity at serious risk.

Writing in a piece headed “Forbidden Planet”, Monbiot said, “The 1000-year legacy of current carbon emissions is long enough to smash anything resembling human civilisation into splinters.”
