Prince Charles attacks the GM Food industry and defends small farmers across the world!
Small is still beautiful!
Well done to Prince Charles (aka Charlie the Greek) for standing up against the GM Food, Mega-Corporate, Big Business, Industrial machine and its 'terminator seeds.'
Schumacher said Small is Beautiful. That book was originally called "Chestertonian Economics" and it is clear that we Distributists are the heirs to that whole worldview: against the profits at all cost of the Monsanto Capitalists and against the tower-blocks and collectivism of the Socialists.
Some - especially lefties - will argue that prince Charles has no right to mention these things because he's a big landowner. We would agree, because property should be as widely distributed as possible, but:
- When did having wealth ever stop all the Champagne Marxists (especially the rich founders of Marxism) out there from telling us what's wrong with the working classes etc. plus:
- Prince Charles may be a big landowner but once the "property is theft" anarcho-Marxians grab hold of all the land "for the people" and usher in State control, the Marxian State will be the biggest landowner of all, and it will busily tell all of us what's in our best interests!
Having said that, the only difference between that last scenario and today is that most of the land is owned by the big businesses, absentee landlords, insurance big businesses etc. that are the friends, backers and lodge-member friends of the political elite, rather than run by that elite's own bureaucracy.
Anyway, if we are to take back the land, if we are to usher in more family farms and farmers markets and market towns, if we are to bring about more (familial, societal and national) self-sufficiency, then we must stand and fight the multinationals today.
If that means supporting Prince Charles in this one instance, then so be it.
David Icke might be convinced that Prince Charles is a 6ft lizard, but the real "reptiles" are the scum who want to run the world's agri-business for their own mass profits.
