    Scientists argue that the indiscriminate use of Earth’s resources by humans has led to environmental effects, ranging from biodiversity loss to climate change.

    Motherfuckers will find it easier to imagine genociding half of humanity than ending capitalism.

      Lol, what do you think indiscriminate use of resources is? That’s literally capitalism!

        Unless you’re an ecofascist neonazi, in which case the same phrase gets interpreted as “use of resources by the wrong kind of people”.

        Absolutely! Famously non capitalist countries have no capability of funding studies. Nope. Hell, we’d never have gotten the first satellite or first person into space without capitalism! Everything good comes from capitalism! And everything bad, yeah, it’s socialism. And if it’s REALLY bad, it’s communism.

            Communism is, by definition, “a classless, moneyless, stateless society”.

            When people say “no communist countries have existed” this is what they mean. Because that’s not ever been achieved.

            There are countries that are run by communist parties (China). But these are not countries that have “obtained Communism”. You are confused because you never looked up the definition of a communist society.

            For example, China is a country run by the Chinese Communist Party under a state structure of Socialism (with Chinese characteristics).

            Since you don’t understand basic definitions I doubt that you’re criticisms of “communist countries” were very insightful.
