James Heartfield: The imminent exhaustion of natural resources is an article of faith for the critics. But the growth of the suburbs is a pointed demonstration that on the contrary, natural resources are readily available. Land, gasoline, building materials all dedicated to enhancing people's environment.   Once that would have been something that the left would have supported. Now they prefer to cast themselves as latter-day Tsar's refusing Bread and Land to the masses.

WS: James, capitalism delivers land gasoline and all what people WANT much better than socialism, so I do not understand why are you calling yourself a socialist? Is it the post-Orwellian newspeak where Left is Right, or simply a big house, big truck and a big gun envy? Is it a pickle in your pocket or are you just happy to see that Hummer finally coming your way?
