What abundance are you talking about ? That’s exactly the problem with capitalism, thinking that resources never end. I’m talking about tightening our belts here, not abundance. And have you seen the wealth some people are hoarding like dragons ? Redistribute some of this, use it towards local sustainable resources and renewable energies.
If you want, but we need to get rid of the capital, stock markets, and all other stuff defining capitalism for this shit to work. Capitalism is based on infinite growth, it’s not sustainable.
capitalism too has its downsides and there’s plenty to improve on
No I think you don’t understand. Capitalism allows rich people to get richer by exploiting the resources of the earth at the expand of the climate and poor people altogether. It’s not something that can be improved, it’s something that needs to be stopped ASAP.
And there isn’t ONE solution to “replace” capitalism, like communism or socialism or whatever, it’s all about solutions to each problems : ban private jets, yacht, and stuff like that ; taxing the rich to stop them hoarding all the wealth, more carbon taxes to force companies into being more eco friendly, banning stuff made by slavery, children, and underpaid workers in far countries, favor locally grown goods, raise the minimum wage, etc.
It’s gonna be hard for everyone but it’s the only way to stop fucking everything up. Capitalism is a cancer that needs to be removed or it will grow until it kill its host. Only the rich will survive, all of us will die slowly.
Climate change, sea level rising, populations moving to an already overpopulated land mass, wars, pandemics… Capitalism is killing us slowly but surely. And “soon” is a figure of speech, it might take a while but compared to humanity span it’s soon enough. Some might survive, but on the long term humanity is running head first into a wall. We might have the time to change course and only get a few bruises, but the no return point is way past.
Because capitalism is burning the earth down for profit and if nothing is done we’re all dead soon ?
Same it happens to me every night
