At one point almost 40% of the world population lived in communist countries. They had more then enough people and resources to make it. If by pressure of capitalism you mean pressure of reality, then yes they mostly folded one by one and switched to economic systems that were closer to reality. North Korea is mostly crippled by their own idiotic ideology in which they are persisting. But going back to your original point, communist countries had much worse pollution and more environmental disasters then their capitalist counterparts.
- AlecSchueler 1y ago40% is far from the overwhelming global majority that would have been needed to make it work according to theorists like Trotsky. But maybe read his work instead of acting incredulous with a random on Hacker News. But certainly back to my original point, because I'm really not sure what you're seeing in it. I said we live in a world driven my capitalism, not by logic. I certainly didn't say anything about adopting communism as a solution, and I actually didn't suggest or imply anything about communism at all. You've wasted both our time on an imaginary argument.
