I'm afraid, wz, that nobody wants to hear from the ecosocialists. They tend to adulterate the revolutionary message and the mainstream with practical thoughts about crops and peasantry. You have learned to walk the correct path with talk of a "correlation" of revolutionary events and climate change events. A tip of the hat to you. I must remember "correlation."
