11. In order to nail down the contention that the
environmental group is based, not on science, but on Marxist doctrine....
a. "Despite the IUCN's pretense of being a scientific body, the Spring 1996 issue of the IUCN's Ethics Working Group's affiliate publication,
Earth Ethics, suggests otherwise. The IUCN, admits
Earth Ethics,"promotes alternative models for sustainable communities and lifestyles, based in
ecospiritual practices and principles... [To solve] the problems that face the world today,
humanity must undergo a radical change in its attitudes, values, and behavior.... In response to this situation,
a new global ethics is taking form, and it is finding expression in
international law." Likewise, the
IUCN's Commission on Environmental Strategy and Planningseems to be proud that they "change human behavior" by using a strategy "based less on facts...than on the
valuesthey hold."
The IUCN
Now....pay close attention to these phrases: "
...humanity must undergo a radical change .... , the
IUCN's Commission on Environmental Strategy and Planning seems to be proud that they
"change human behavior" by using a strategy "based less on facts...than on the
values they hold."
Sound familiar?
While not as familiar as "from each according to his ability, to each accoring to his need," it still has a familiar ring.
Where else that demand for
"radical change" in mankind?
b. Communist Revolution is based on the idea of transforming human nature. “The
New Soviet man or
New Soviet person (
Russian: новый советский человек), as postulated by the ideologists of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union, was an
archetype of a person with certain qualities that were said to be emerging as dominant among all citizens of the
Soviet Union, irrespective of the country's long-standing cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity, creating a single
Soviet people,
Soviet nation.

c.
Leon Trotsky wrote in his
Literature and Revolution [2] :
"The human species, the sluggish Homo sapiens, will once again enter the stage of radical reconstruction and become in his own hands the object of the most complex methods of artificial selection and psychophysical training... Man will make it his goal...to create a higher sociobiological type, a superman, if you will" New Soviet man - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
d. In October 1919, Lenin paid a secret visit to the laboratory of the great physiologist I. P. Pavlov, a Russian physiologist known chiefly for the concept of the conditioned reflex. In his classic experiment, he found that a hungry dog can be trained to associate the sound of a bell with food and will salivate at the sound even in the absence of food. Lenin wanted to find out if his work on the conditional reflexes of the brain might help the Bolsheviks control European behaviour.
“I want the masses of Russia to follow a Communistic pattern of thinking and reacting,”Lenin explained.
Pavlov was astounded.
It seemed that Lenin wanted him to do for humans what he had already done for dogs.
“Do you mean that you would like to standardise the population of Russia? Make them all behave in the same way?”he asked.
“Exactly” replied Lenin.
“Man can be corrected. Man can be made what we want him to be.”…

In 1969, Hillary Rodham gave the student commencement address at Wellesley in which she said that “ for too long our leaders have used politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible….
We’re not interested in social reconstruction; it’s human reconstruction.”-http://www.wellesley.edu/PublicAffairs/Commencement/1969/053169hillary.html
Environmentalism and communist doctrine......hard to tell them apart.
