I wanted to do an informal poll of ideas of how a Marxist society could better cope with the Tsunami devastation, as supplies are mismanaged through various charities, with the Red Cross taking the greatest role of international leadership with other organizations.

How could this be better managed? Why should help only rely on charity? What should world governments do? How would the public be better served?

Currently those who have lost the land possessed have lost everything, children without parents have little options outside of the kindness of extended family, it they exist. There are not enough experts in forensics in many of the countries hit, as their experts have been exported to better jobs in the first world. No doubt the refugees will go many of them to other countries as low wage workers without papers or even as virtual sex slaves working as prostitutes or in the sex industry in other ways in there own countries, Thailand or Europe, many of them women and children. The effects of this will last for years...

Global warming is increasing, hurricanes through Florida and Cuba, earthquakes are also increasing, some believe this has to do with the mining of huge oil deposits which lubricated the plates of the Earth like oil in joints.

What do you believe, what do you think? Will environmental catastrophe cause a political shift in the world, to facism, democracy or communism? Or simply Anarchy?

How could Marxism better serve rescue efforts, beyond the obvious organization and relief structure, what services could help? How should society run to help those in need?
