“The whole world needs to adopt China’s one-child policy,” writes Canadian journalist Diane Francis, mother of two.

Ahhh, ya, what I meant is that you should adopt China’s draconian and tyrannical human-rights violating one-child force abortion policy.

But, the larger danger of Hegelian thought is that one begins to think that there is something “magical” in the crisis. It soon becomes the most critical piece in our desire to achieve the “synthesis”. We will even begin to create a crisis if it doesn’t exist, or make you think it exists, even if it really doesn’t. Or make you think it is a “crisis” when it really is just a natural down slope of the curve.

Communism was famous for stirring up the revolution to achieve its goals. (And interestingly, the ‘revolutionaries’ who came to power as part of the ’synthesis’ weren’t anxious for anyone to soon decide that another ‘antithesis’ should arise! So, they continued to wear the revolutionary garb for years and years and kept icons of the ‘revolution’ alive in the minds of the people as if it had just happened or was still ongoing. This prevented anyone from thinking it was time for another ‘crisis’!)

Now whether or not there are seeds of Hegel in the thinking of modern man, I find it interesting that we seem to have bought the same notion that any real change requires a “crisis”.

Some have bought this so deeply that they will sometimes “doctor” the evidence to make the “crisis” appear more dire or imminent.

After all, without the “crisis” we have no movement and without the movement we don’t achieve our goals.

We certainly have had a boatload of them in recent history.

Marx and Lenin used Hegelian thought to motivate the communist revolution in Russia, which included the slaughter of one-third of the population (“change”).  The global warming movement, as a global crisis, may be far more reaching.

We are talking draconian measures:

The “inconvenient truth” overhanging the UN’s Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.

A planetary law, such as China’s one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.

The world’s other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity’s soaring reproduction rate.

Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world’s leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict.

But there’s more, much more:

The fix is simple. It’s dramatic. And yet the world’s leaders don’t even have this on their agenda in Copenhagen. Instead there will be photo ops, posturing, optics, blah-blah-blah about climate science and climate fraud, announcements of giant wind farms, then cap-and-trade subsidies.

None will work unless a China one-child policy is imposed. Unfortunately, there are powerful opponents. Leaders of the world’s big fundamentalist religions preach in favor of procreation and fiercely oppose birth control. And most political leaders in emerging economies perpetuate a disastrous Catch-22: Many children (i. e. sons) stave off hardship in the absence of a social safety net or economic development, which, in turn, prevents protections or development.

China has proven that birth restriction is smart policy. Its middle class grows, all its citizens have housing, health care, education and food, and the one out of five human beings who live there are not overpopulating the planet.

China’s policies of population control include forced abortion and sterilization, discrimination against seconds, and severe penalties against those who criticize the gross violation of human rights.

Go ahead, drink the cool-aid.
