President Obama Has Earned an 'F' in Ecological Economics

With enough political loot in his swag of success a retiring President Obama could open a green tourist lodge on the shore of verdant Lake Tanganyika for Eco-tourists and to coordinate decades of Carterist political interventions globally yet he would still have earned an 'F' on ecospheric economic reform.  While a Walker-Rubio dynamic duo would probably beat down a Hillary-Bill,Lopez,Winfree,Feinstein or Boxer ticket any new President would continue the F- approach to economic reform. It is not sufficient to just slow down the rate of loss of savings from an environmental account 5% to get a few votes over a rival political party; instead a complete economic reform bringing environmental restoration and new, sustainable global economic practices is required starting in the U.S.A.

President Obama has as a loyal to non-sustainable economics capitalist tool worked to enhance the concentration of wealth that the misguided take as pure capitalism. Actual global financial and market networking is effacing and converting capitalism from a pluralist condition toward monism. In time the Stalin of Wall Street with the best social empowerment skills will rule an oligarchy with inflexible domination of the global market allocating resources wheresoever he, she or it will. The end of capitalism occurs with over-concentration of wealth and networked ownership of capitalism. It is not a communist utopia or a minimalist eschatological Von Mises actualization of a few global corporations in competition as winners in survival of the fittest competition-it is an undesirable yet socially deserved death of capitalism, repression of free enterprise and death of democracy. The environment is being killed on the way.

So any politician with environmental economic enlightenment is unlikely to see the light of day through the propaganda ocean of news media oppression of anything that seems antipathetic to a corporatist or networking of power social agenda. Since the world's natural resources are incapable of sustaining an American lifestyle for ten billion it will become undesirable to permit free expression without economic reprisal of dissident economic ideas. 

It is hard to underestimate the desire of Americans to posture for politically correct positions rather to risk saying or writing anything in support of democracy. While self-determination and democracy were politically [popular terms during the Reagan administration, like the word 'poor' that has dropped out of Democrat Party vocabulary unless it applies to illegal aliens or foreigners. Self-determination and democracy too have faded out of the political leadership lexicon as U.S. interventionism to annex former Soviet lands for market exploitation have escalated.

When the Nobel Prize Committee awarded President Obama a peace prize in advance foreseeing his leadership in stimulating wars across North Africa and support for civil war in Ukraine, it did not realize what success he would have a reconstituting a cold war with Russia after the Soviet Union in a remarkable breach of distrust gave up and joined the capitalist world. The United States in some ways has reversed the Soviet Evil Empire modality of expansion that Trotsky envisioned and itself seems to be pressing to compel capitalism upon the world economic system. Barrack Obama makes a poor post-Stalinist cadre of leaders example (when Trotskyism resumed after the Stalin hiatus). Unfortunately, even with a virtual diner's dilemma kind of devotion to avoiding the check loyalty to capitalism, the Universal phase of capitalism in the networked era unforeseen by the Austrian school results in the death of capitalism and environment together.

Yet of course there are off-world resources and millions of black-boy stealth drones possible for budgeting conflicts in space. I guess one can be optimistic that way and trust that Martians can pay the check.
