It’s not an observation about communism-vs-capitalism (or at least that’s not how I understand it): it’s about how we’re collectively as a society so fixated upon the inevitability of property rights and capitalism and return on investment and the primacy of profit that we cannot contemplate that we may need to abandon all these precepts in order to avert climatic disaster (or some other existential threat).
- nradov 3y agoWhat exactly are you proposing as an alternative? So far everything else that we have tried has quickly devolved into famine and genocide.
- avgcorrection 3y agoWas the invasion of Vietnam by the US a genocide?
- CheBuzz 3y agoNo.
- zosima 3y agoAnd how exactly would introducing communism avert climate disaster? How did the environment fare in Soviet. Which country is the largest CO2 emitter in the world? Do you even consider what you're writing before you post it?
- avgcorrection 3y agoThe person that you replied to already wrote that “It’s not an observation about communism-vs-capitalism”.
- zosima 3y agoYes, of course. Abolishing property rights is not communism this time around.
