    We’re not gonna be able to combat climate change under capitalism anyway. The number one thing we need to do is to produce less but that goes directly against what capitalism needs to function. Not to mention that governments are bribed by companies to make laws in their favour.

    But hey, what’s the point of saving our planet anyway if we can’t maximize profits anymore?

      Yep. And if you mention this, you’re a commie and capitalism is the greatest thing ever and under socialism we will all starve and have nothing and it never worked look at Cuba.

      Like capitalism works, and there are no imaginable alternatives.

      Just don’t use resources to produce that much useless crap to just dump it in a landfill or burn it? Is it so hard to understand?

        It’s working great in cuba. Best health care in the world too.

        The problems in Cuba are all tied directly to us sanctioning them to try and destroy their economy

      a unified, coordinated population of citizens could make big change if we wanted to. there are certainly villains, but we’re all somewhat to blame.
