Ok so I have been learning and studying oil depleating for a while something that a lot more people are talking about either directly by calling it peak oil or indirectly by getting mad a rising gas prices. My question to socialists is that I beleive many of them think on the same level as capitalists in the sense that they believe that the world is not finite. Now let me just say yes I beleive in peak oil and yes I believe the world is finite. I beilieve that socialism thinks in order to have socialism you must first have capitalism and you must continue to grow then the poor will overthrow the rich and everyone will live in harmony loving to work because they will not be exploited by the rich. The problem is is that we can no longer grow.
Yes i believe that things will be better if you redistribute wealth but it will not solve the problem of the continued growth peridime. Please I am just trying to understand this it is not an attack on anybody.
Thank you

I'd recommend the book "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn as an introduction to outside the box thinking. We cannot solve our problems from the same mindset that created them.
