==== Rejection of Green Politics ==== While accepting the basic insights of ecological thinking, and Xi Jinping's notion of ecological thinking, Infrared rejects 'green politics' as the one-sided elevation of nature over industrial civilization. Additionally, Infrared rejects the peculiar ''aestheticization'' of nature corresponding to green politics, which effectively reduces nature to the 'vibrant' and 'colorful' biosphere. Infrared rather believes a stronger emphasis should be played, in ecological thinking, upon the destructive geological and cosmological forces that are simultaneously the basis of natural development. Most importantly, Infrared fiercely opposes the resurgence of Malthusianism and 'degrowth' paradigms, which reject industrial and technological civilization on the basis of a superficial 'anti-capitalism.' For this reason, many have mistakenly over-exaggerated the influence of Lyndon LaRouche's critique of neo-Malthusianism on Infrared, despite Karl Marx's own well-known critique of Malthus and views on industrial civilization. Infrared rejects both 'green' and 'technological' utopias, accepting the rugged contradictions of both technological civilization and nature itself to be the fundamental basis of human and historical development. It regards these 'dreams' as infantile attempts to escape responsibility for the concrete development of the productive forces. While Infrared embraces the aestheticization of the latter, such an aesthetics, even those speculative, must be grounded in a minimal realism.
