“Zombie” of “zombietime” fame writes to tell me that while the climate rallies in New York and London had a “whiff” of Marxism, the rallies in Oakland were not green, but a deep red.

This is all new content, not based on or derived from anyone else’s report. (Several earlier posts about the NYC “climate march” mentioned that the whole affair seemed to have a faint whiff of Marxism — but my report is about the West Coast edition of the same event, which was apparently much more extreme and 100% pure unabashed communist agitation.)
With copious photos and rock-solid evidence, needless to say.
This just confirms James Delingpole’s “watermelons” (green on the outside, red on the inside) thesis. Except now, they’re red on the outside too.

Climate Movement Drops Mask, Admits Communist Agenda
Communists along with a few environmental groups staged a “People’s Climate Rally” in Oakland, California on Sunday, September 21, in conjunction with the larger “People’s Climate March” in New York City on the same day.
Wait — did I say communists? Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?
Well…no.
At the New York event, many people noticed that gee, there sure are a lot of communists at this march. But in Oakland — always on the cutting edge — the entire “climate change” movement at last fully, irrevocably and overtly embraced communism as its stated goal. Any concerns about “optics” or operating in “stealth mode” were abandoned.
The “climate change” “crisis” is now nothing but the latest justification for “total revolution” and getting rid of capitalism forever.
Yes, capitalism itself is the problem. The primary message of the People’s Climate Rally was this: Climate change is caused by capitalism, and merely attempting to reform capitalism will not stop global warming; it is impossible to work within the existing system if we want to save the planet. We must replace it with a new social and economic system entirely.
…
Below you will find irrefutable proof that communist ideologies, organizations and phraseologies have completely moved to the forefront of the “climate change” movement. (I was originally tempted to say that the communists, as they are wont to do, have merely “co-opted” environmentalism. But that would imply that the goal of global warming scaremongering was something other than “destroying capitalism” in the first place. At this point I now know that destroying capitalism has always been the goal; the only thing that changed on Sunday is that the mask was dropped.)

And this will always grow worse as government grows more powerful and corruptible, and tries to exercise an ever-growing mandate to pick winners, whether due to misguided good intentions (Solyndra) or rabid cronyism and influence buying.
Central planning and control will always favor linear development and make it ever more difficult for disruptive new ideas to take root, even when bureaucrats try to foster innovation. For example, the moment that 100s of millions were dumped in the lap of Solyndra, venture capital dried up for many other potential PVC start-ups. This is because the first thing a venture capitalist will ask an entrepreneur is “tell me about your competition”. No venture capitalist wants to compete against someone with bottomless pockets and the ability to legislate new rules on a whim.
These marches have been good… for revealing the true nature of those who are calling for action on climate change. There were cries for system change, cries for socialism, and cries for green environmentalism. There were even cries for revolution.
One lady said it all when she said the problem with today is that life is much too good and we have much too much. Perhaps she’d be happier living in some remote bush camp in Kenya amongst the hard-living Samburu tribe… no electricity… no running water… just a very very tough life!
I noticed that a bunch of the marchers would not give up their cell phones to “save the climate”.
Just went through a hurricane here in the southern Baja. Got a taste of what it’s like with no cell phones, no electricity, no land phones, no water, no refrigerator, and no internet for 4 or 5 days. I guess it will take a few more coal plants to close, and a major blackout for some of these people to realize that CO2 is not as big a problem compared to the lack of energy. A major blackout during the depths of winter would explain this to many of these marchers as to what is to loose. It would also show them how billions of people off the grid have to live.
