    It’s linked but Communism can also be unsustainable. Climate change is known since 1970 or such.

    There are only a few big billionaires. They could agree on protecting nature. I believe that they have chosen to continue for the northern shipping routes.

      Educate the working class, instead of making them ignorant on purpose so they won’t revolt, so when they seize the means of production they think greener then?

        Most people in the US right now read at a 6th grade level.

        Don’t waste time trying to bring them up; change your message to something they understand.

        “Tax the rich! No more billionaires!”

        You can try that.

        Ironically you could also try protecting nature by becoming a leading Capitalist and owning all means of production yourself.

          But to become a leading capitalist you must exploit hundreds of thousands of people.

          This process strips you of most of your humanity and empathy, thus you will likely no longer care about “protecting nature”.

            For the influence to change the world, it will be millions or billions. You also have to exploit some nature to protect the rest.

            This is a Stalin level of monstocity, or beyond.

            Is it a price worth paying? Because even if it is something else, like a Communist approach, the efforts will be the same. E.g. if China ends up protecting nature globally, they have paid that price.
