I also wish all my problems would go away magically

While i too yearn for the downfall of capitalism, pre-capitalist societies were still responsible for environmental distruction, slavery and genocide.

As long as individuals or a small elite have enough power to enforce their needs over the needs of everyone else, we'll always have capital-b Badnesses.

We have to usher in the collapse of perminant heirarchies, whatever form they take.

Remember everyone, if your utopia relies on the idea that everyone just peacefully gives up their power, it is doomed to fail.

IMHO: We all should strive to be the change we want to see in the world. But sometimes it's even enough to just be the person that you wish to see in the world more often.

If capitalism collapses, we're most likely going back to feudalism, not ten-forward to Star Trek.

The industrial mechanisms that promote climate change would not die with capitalism.

We’re a lot more likely to Balkanize and divide

My sweet summer child... We missed our chance. The revolution isn't coming. Or maybe it will happen and then we will die anyways. The climate is fucked. There is no unfucking it. We can fuck it a little less than we currently are every year, but that isn't going to save us.

The effects of this will rival the Permian extinction in the near term and in the long term, barring a miraculous turnaround through geological processes after a few thousand years, it will certainly be worse.

For reference, the Permian extinction wiped out 90% of ALL LIFE. Like 75% of land based life and 95% of all sea life (of which there was considerably more) at the time died out. It was caused by a sudden and severe increase in atmospheric greenhouse gasses over the course of several thousand years. We are outpacing that by orders of magnitude. So we could quite conceivably reach the levels seen during that time and we could do it much faster, giving all life even less time to adapt to the worst catastrophy in the history of life.

We're boned, my dude.

Central planning economies have ruined the planet disproportionately compared to their liberal, market economy counterparts. Consider the USSR: compared to the US, a better environmental record might be expected due to their command economy. To the contrary

Total emissions in the USSR in 1988 were about 79% of the US total. Considering that the Soviet GNP was only some 54% of that of the USA, this means that the Soviet Union generated 1.5 times more pollution than the USA per unit of GNP.

Their planners considered pollution control

unnecessary hindrance to economic development and industrialization

and

By the 1990s, 40% of Russia's territory began demonstrating symptoms of significant ecological stress, largely due to a diverse number of environmental issues, including deforestation, energy irresponsibility, pollution, and nuclear waste.

And this generously glosses over the extent of water contamination, hazardous dumping of toxic & nuclear waste into oceans, etc.

Humans are the problem, and the planet is better off without them.

Why wait? Fucking help it collapse

i think you’re going to be waiting a while?

the last countries that were communist have turned capitalist or at least mixed market

have any countries actually become communist in the last 50 years?

Before it goes it will be proceeded be decades of massive corruption, general enshittification of everything, corporate rule and oppression.

When you are running away from corporate sentry drones, because you were outsite after curfew in hunger games type society, it's better time to start waiting.

Woody Allen, as flawed as he is, had a good quip about enjoying whatever brings you pleasure without feeling guilty.

The world isn't going to get better. Evolution created a system where those bereft of morals make the rules. It's literally in our nature to lie cheat and steal. Current humans are a statistical anomaly, aside from the tastier class.

If history tells us anything...

Waiting is usually not the best option. like, you can wait until the trash goes away on it's own, but it might take longer than you expect, with consequences you might not.

Just saying..

Let climate change solve itself, woah

You speak as if you are dissatisfied with having a system that fucking implodes by concepts of "automation" and "technology" in the "automation and technology" era.

Capitalism will burn itself out but that literally comes with the burn out of humanity. The only way to reverse capitalism is to revolt and impose our own socialist agenda. I know its not what you want to hear but its the only solution to not ending our lives in horrible desperation. Our new policies for climate change will ensure mitigation of greenhouse gasses but the button has been pressed on our future and we will see climate disasters and a global warming that we will need to endure. Endurance and ensurance are the only outcomes possible with the impotence our society is achieving. We are so stuck in this capitalist hellscape and incapable of fighting the systems that rob resources and leeches on the world. We only have this planet and we are sucking it dry quite literally.

I'm a time traveler, I came back from the future just to tell you guys that we will naturally evolve from capitalism to democratic socialism, aka market socialism. It's still capitalism, but better. You still have free markets, but cooperatives will beat corporations on account of simply being more competitive - you see, in a level playing field, cooperatives don't need to squeeze their customers, employees, & vendors to maintain a profit margin for their investors, unlike every investor led corporation in the world. You can even ask the incoming mayor of New York about it. Wait a minute, is he a time traveler too?

Seems robo-factories in China are going to take over the world. Hope they have some mercy, because no one can compete with China now.
