The problem with a social democratic initiative like this is that the fellow members of the working class who live in the global south, who produce 99% of the products the Icelandic bourgeoisie (together with the rest of the Global North bourgeoisie) outsources to there, do not get this same treatment. [1] 'Solutions' like this are a distraction for the labor movement/socialists and labor organizers everywhere. It also reminds me of how there is this unfortunately common yet gross accounting trick that tries to only count and shine a light on the level of pollution by the producers (usually by country), without accounting for who they are producing for (which company + country). So yes China is polluting, but most of it is in response to requests from global north capitalists. Both of the above are not solutions, they are half(baked) solutions as well as being misinterpretations of the full context and system.
