Intro
In today's consumerist era, capitalism has led to extreme exploitation of nature and its beings. The wealthy, controlling most global assets, exploit resources for luxury, while others are drawn into this cycle unwillingly.
Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto (1848) sparked revolutionary socialist and communist movements, but after 1989, capitalism regained dominance. While communism prioritised human welfare, it neglected environmental concerns, whereas capitalism accelerated resource depletion.
This book introduces a new theory Techno Green Sustainable Socialism (Naturalism), merging beneficial capitalist elements with communist economics through modern technology. Its principle: "Nature reigns supreme." The government shall act as a guardian of nature rather than a ruler, ensuring equality and environmental protection.
In essence, this is the Naturalist Manifesto, authored by the new writer, Ashwin Verma.
