Aaron Price reflects on Russian history applied to the Green New Deal, with a poem about a future Millennial War where Green ideology destroys civil society.
Editor’s Note: Our friend Aaron Price, creator of Gas Odyssey, from Windsor, New York, has written another poem focusing at the underlying desires behind so much of what poses as the “Green New Deal,” which is more red than green. As someone who views Alexander Solzshenitsyn as having been one of the great chroniclers and prophets of our time, I found much to like about Aaron’s poem. He knows his Russian History; how the Red Russians co-opted a revolution started by the White Russians. He also knows the danger Green ideologues such as Roger Allam, Ruby Montoya and AOC, represent to civil society. Read it and think about what he’s saying.
The Millennial War
“How did the American Civil War,
(The Millennial War),
Begin?
No, not the War Between the States
I speak of the Civil War
Our generation had to face.”
No later historian will understand
Its causes.
Because, unlike in the past,
A people, not history,
Was made.
Out of the American Civil War,
The Millennial War,
A whole new tribe of people came.
A tribe with no Race,
A tribe united by Green,
A tribe of the Left,
And what is best,
Just like in Russia,
Red won,
And White fled.”
From the future:
“I was a member of the
Losing tribe.”
“The younger ones,
Poorly educated by design,
Fought and enslaved us
Because they did not know
What was at Stake.
The Millennials,
To try and save the world,
Tried to destroy us,
That was their mistake.
For them, for the Green
And the Red,
Nothing was meant to change.
They were fueled by greed
And ambition.
We were the ones who
Must be punished.
For giving them a land of plenty,
A land of abundance.
Red/Green understood
What it meant
To take a landowner hostage.
That became a part of the
War’s Creed:
To take the land from its owners,
To take away their rights,
To make them pay for the
Sin against Green of saying,
This is mine.”
“Green, with the fist of
Green Terror,
Dictated the future
To landowners and taxpayers,
And mercilessly corrected
Hundreds of years of error.”
“Nothing can belong to anyone,
According to the Green Creed,
If it is wrongly used,
There can be no choice
If the planet is harmed
By what you would choose.”
“How was the next American
Civil War fought?
Each day I, and others like me,
Dealt with it:
The riots, the strikes.
The light of day concealed
What was done out of sight,
And then a Day arrived
When Red and Green no longer
Had to hide.
Woe the day when the Army
Switched sides,
And a People’s Army
Came to rise.”
“I watched as boundaries
Came down.
Networks of people formed
To inform and betray,
Each side’s criminals
Using similar methods
To loot and to prey.”
“Still, the gas and the oil
And the coal flowed.
Urban centers had heat,
Warmth against the cold.
The rationing in cities wasn’t tight,
There were ways around it,
A black market was created,
But I lived where
They rationed everything in sight.”
“The rural areas, like
Where I was from,
Were hardest hit.
Some areas for Green
Were ‘cleaned’;
Greens called it the Clearing.
I remember hearing tales of
The Disappearing.”
“The counterrevolution was
Bold and long;
It lasted for decades
After White lost.
It ended with things
People in America
Thought they’d never see:
Camps for the Greenward
And Leftward,
Oaths of loyalty
By loyalty enforced.”
“How I wish I could tell you of
The reclaiming of the Flag!”
“To look ahead to America’s future,
Look back
To the Russian Civil War
And Russia’s past.”
