That's presuming

are we going to
transition to a

When
there is
an
unlimited
quantity
of a
resource,
in this
system in
particular,
said
resource
loses
value
quickly.
No value
means no
incentive
to
produce
(because
it's
worthless)
and thus

no
enjoyment
for
"consumers."
Does that
help?
They lose
value
because
supply is
higher than
demand, they
don't become
worthless as
long as
there's a
demand for
them. If
production
stops and
demand
persists,
value rises
and
production
resumes.

Increased
demand due to
biofuels?
The world grows
far more than
enough food to
feed everyone on
this planet three
square meals a
day. And only a
fraction of the
population in
developed
countries work in
agriculture.

Hey!
Yes, I'm familiar with those
groups, thanks for asking. My
great grandfather was actually in
the CNT :)
Many years ago I wrote an
account of my time in Venezuela
for a group called RAAN which
was a union of Marxists and
anarchists (look it up!)
I'll quote you a section from that
text that deals with Che, because
I think you'd appreciate it:
As was put to me by one of
the lead personalities in the
crew, "Here in Latin America
we have our own heroes
such as Marti, Guevara, and
Miranda."
To elaborate on this, I'd like
to say that Ernesto "Ch"
Guevara definitely deserves
to be put into his own
category. To begin with,
North American anarchists
rarely understand the
importance of this man as a
historical figure for social
struggles in the global South.
The "untouchability" of his
image remains a point of
frustration to those who see
him only as either an
authoritarian responsible for
Castroism, or a
commercialized silhouette
devoid of all revolutionary
content. To label Ch as an
orthodox Leninist is an
oversimplification given his
own preference for violent
guerrilla struggle, not to
mention that it is difficult to
label him an authoritarian
when he willingly renounced
his position in the highest
strata of the Cuban
bureaucracy in order to fight
and die in isolated foreign
campaigns. To the majority
of oppressed people in South
America and around the
world, Ch remains an
incredibly accessible point of
reference as a revolutionary
driven by deep personal love
for humankind and the
struggle for liberation; it is
