won't happen with capitalism which has an emphasis on economic growth forever...
- victorbjorklund 2mo agoDoes the env work better in a communist country like North Korea? Or in the Soviet Union? Or are we gonna do no true Scotsman and say Soviet was always capitalist and had no connection to communism?

- master-lincoln 2mo agoAbsolutely irrelevant derailing. No claim was made about communist countries...
- carlosjobim 2mo agoEconomic growth also comes from getting more for less. A company can increase their profits by growing and increasing both what they spend and what they earn. But a company can also increase their profits by reducing what they spend without decreasing what they earn. Almost all companies are constantly trying to do this.
- giglamesh 2mo agoOften (usually?) by requiring workers to do more for less pay. Automation will eventually solve this problem, but because of the need to increase profits, finding an alternative way for companies to economically support human life the way they traditionally have through employment will be a tough nut to crack.
- carlosjobim 2mo agoBy any and every means available, but not mostly by whipping workers harder.

- eastbound 2mo agoThat’s an error. Most capitalists are against government intervention. It’s EU socialists who want to raise poor people to the level of consumerism of rich ones. Not capitalists. Capitalists would be happy to let them be poor. In the EU, it’s trying to help-and-attract poor people by millions which strains the Earth. In the US it’s a special breed of capitalism where the state colludes with rich people to subsidize the big corporations at the detriment of nature and citizen.
