When WZ Foster is called on his hypocrisy on not leading the life he preaches we should lead he says this:

177. here is why
Political solutions to social issues are a matter of public policy, not personal choice.
So basically he wants the Government to force us into leading a life free from oil instead of letting it be the individuals choice.
At one point he said he fertilizes his "farm" with turkey manure.
That would mean he would need an enormous number of birds and all of them penned or housed.
In turn they would need an equally enormous amount of feed which would probably be corn based...as always with DUmmies the stories don`t add up.
Lurking DUmmies...this is why socialism can`t ever work.
Lets look at his dream world of Utopian collectivism and see where it leads.
As has been pointed out many times already stopping the use of oil would end flights,truck transportation and rail.
Those are the means to get food and goods to the populous urban areas.
What now does one do to feed them?
There is no nice answer to that but the left has always had a solution...think Stalin and his gulags and the millions he killed.
Don`t need as much food anymore,problem solved.
Well sort of solved because you still have people a long ways from the areas of production and no way to efficiently move it.
Sorry those that enjoy living in the lights and entertainment of the city,you are just not going to be allowed that choice.
Workers on the farms are needed and under this situation no government would allow private ownership of property so your silly dream of the people owning the means of production is a joke.
The government will own everything.
Within no time look what you have...Soviet style communism with its butchery and complete loss of freedom.
