It really is unfortunate for the Clintonite bureaucrats that they have latched onto this agenda of attempting to blame "capitalism" and "suburbia" for the unsustainability of modern industrial civilization. Because they are hilariously wrong. It's a pack of first-world petty bourgeois repeating the exact same failures of Lenin and the Soviet communists. Even Gore didn't seem to be that ignorant. His tack was at least scientifically plausible, if wildly unpopular. Kind of telling, the infighting going on now as Obama spent his entire term ignoring the eco-fascist agenda in favor of busting the budget propping up the gain in living standards of middle-class blacks instead. And he has no regrets, even if he is a one-term president. Of course nothing the American political left does will ever be sustainable. But it's hilarious how each little faction wants to go in their own misguided direction. And as a result they can't ever hold it together long enough to maintain power for more than a few years at a time. Sad, really. The vast majority of the US electorate, dominated by complete incompetents because all the white males are too politically correct to point out to the women and minorities that their ideas are facile, have been tried before, and will never work. Not that most of them really care, anyways. They're happy with a few make-work jobs, some pork projects, and the opportunity to stand up and say "I fought to redistribute this wealth from the people who created it" to a crowd of perpetually-downtrodden admirers. Sustainability is nothing but a distant dream in Democratic realpolitik.
In reality, suburbia is a response to failed bureaucracies. The flight from incompetent government being fomented right now will be truly epic in the years to come. And capitalism is the most efficient means of wealth preservation mankind has ever devised. Even the Chinese have now conceded this.
So contrary to the wishes of the global central planners, as we speak, capitalism, courtesy of the Chinese, and suburbia, thanks to Chairman Greenspan, are quietly engineering the destruction of the failed fascist model so faithfully-copied by both the Soviets and the American bureaucrats in their zeal to emulate the efficiency of the German state without first understanding its fundamental underpinnings.
Central planning simply doesn't work. It is being abandoned by local governments all over the US. This will be bigger than just the failure of Agenda 21. It will be the failure of incompetent government in general.
