Communism would've been the better choice for the world, not for the people of the 20th century themselves but for the following generations. We are destroying the world with our consumerism (capitalism) and we just can't stop although most of us know that what we do is wrong. We are all complicit and guilty. Everyone with a consciousness, when old, will look back to these days and know that s/he has done too little [or rather: consumed too much], full of regret and sadness. [Unless...]
edit: yes, I'm talking about climate change.

I agree that the current consumption culture us bad, but socialism isn't the answer to that problem. All you need to do is to properly regulate capitalism, like some countries in Europe do. The only reason that doesn't happen in USA is that such regulations aren't politically popular. Socialism wouldn't help push through unpopular regulations, instead people would just vote to keep using oil anyway.
