Come the Green Revolution

I have just heard something really funny on the radio. David Cameron, out dear leader in waiting, said that we need a completely new concept of government - which is true and not the funny bit. The funny bit was that he thinks that he and his Tory cronies are the ones to achieve this monumental - I could say revolutionary - change. The only thing that would be different if Dave and his Tories took over from Gordon and his Tories would be the accent of the Prim Minister. Even the LDs would not provide the revolutionary change we need, not only in this country but across the world. There is only one political faction (with lots of parties working together) and that is the Green Parties of the world. Let's look at the facts, Communism failed, Capitalism is in the process of failing, Nazism is making a comeback but who in their right minds would want fascism as their mode of government. So that just leaves Political Ecology to provide the way forward. Have no doubt this will be a revolution on a global scale and not everyone will survive.
One aspect of political ecology that is not discussed very much because most of us find it scary is death. We talk about things such as population control but we must remember that we will all die eventually, death being an essential part of the life cycle. Without death there would be no food. Every living thing on this planet is dependent of dead stuff for its nourishment. Even plants which can photosynthesis and so fix carbon into glucose are dependent of the decay of other living things to provide the components for life. Most of the things we humans eat are dead or dieing. Even the most rigorous Vegan will be eating plants that are alive. Most salads are alive when we eat then. So with this intimate chain of life and death we must start to come to terms with death and the fact that the world as it stands is heading for a great extinction which is very likely to include us Homo sapiean sapiean. But we are a supremely adaptable species. Evolution is our game, we are up there with the Rats, cockroaches and gulls as the supreme survivors, but not if we refuse to accept that a big change is going to happen whether we like it or not so we must change now. and the change we must make is laid out via Political Philosophy.
