Pollution, Propaganda and Power – The Communist Trail of Ecological Destruction

 

Today, the world is celebrating World Environment Day. Countries across the globe are holding campaigns, planting trees, and raising awareness about climate change and environmental protection.

 

But while the world talks about a green future, there are still those who are damaging the environment on a massive scale, hiding behind political promises.

 

 

 

The Chinese Communist Party often claims it is serious about environmental protection. It talks about “eco-civilisation” and “green growth.” But the reality tells a different story.

 

China is the world’s largest emitter of carbon. The air in many of its cities like Beijing and Shanghai is so polluted that children must wear masks just to step outside.

 

 

Rivers are filled with toxic industrial waste, and many species of fish and aquatic life are disappearing.

What’s worse is that those who speak up against this are often silenced.

 

Environmental activists in China are watched, arrested or simply disappear.

 

In Communist China, protecting nature is seen as a threat to the state. This proves that, for the Chinese government, their image is more important than the environment.

 

The history of Communist China's environment policies is also filled with destruction.

 

During the "Great Leap Forward" from 1958 to 1962, China launched a rapid industrialisation programme.

 

 

 

It forced rural communities to build small furnaces to produce iron. To fuel these, forests were cut down and fertile land was destroyed. The result was one of the worst famines in history and permanent environmental damage.

 

But China is not alone in this. In Soviet Russia, the Caspian Sea was drained to create farmland.

 

Today, it is nearly gone. Nuclear waste, factory smoke and forest destruction in Siberia were seen as achievements of the state but left a trail of environmental disasters.

 

 

The Chernobyl disaster is just one example of this failure.

 

Other communist or left-leaning countries have similar records. In Cuba, the government talks about natural farming, but people face hunger and shortages.

 

Bolivia passed a law giving rights to "Mother Earth" but continues to cut forests for mining. These countries speak about nature, but their actions tell a different story.

 

 

Now, they talk about something called "eco-communism", claiming they can save the planet with strict government control.

 

But this idea ignores technology, investment and innovation. Instead of supporting renewable energy, they turn nature into a political fight.

 

World Environment Day should not just be a day of speeches and slogans.

 

Real change comes from science, technology, policy and action. Not from hiding behind failed ideas.

 

They promise green futures but deliver grey skies, dead rivers and destroyed forests.

 

On this World Environment Day, let us not be fooled by their words. Nature is not a political tool. It is our home, our responsibility and our future.
