Would you?

If I made enough money I would. I already go down and work for free just to help myself out latter in the future. I work at a school in a kitchen, so organizing is a bit easier off the clock when I'm just by myself.

But right now, no, because I don't even make $2,000 a month

I for sure would. I can survive on less than $2,000. If I were making like double that, I would be more than happy to drop that down to $3,000 so someone else could go up from $2,000 $3,000 as well

Yes, most of the poorer countries are feeling the effects of climate change. Tell us how well capitalism worked out for us in a few decades.

Why is that capitalism's fault? China claims to be communist. They can stop polluting any day now if they want. Saudi Arabia is a monarchy. They could just stop drilling for oil. "but capitalist countries buy their stuff" isn't an excuse. If their government was somehow better positioned to deal with climate they would be doing so, but they aren't. Oh, but when an actual solution is found like some new form of carbon recapture, is that going to come from a theocracy? No... it's going to come from a capitalist country.

Probably not the Saudis, seeing as there's an absurd capture technology that converts atmospheric CO2 directly into booze.

Why default to posting dumb shit like this? "The only way you can agree with [political thing I disagree with] is because you don't understand it as well as I do. I am very smart." Isn't the genius take you think it is

Then why would one advocate for something without even knowing what it is? Or even the fundamental groundwork? (Which a lot of people who discuss it online don't.)

Your rebuttal wasn't exactly the genius rebuttal you thought it was either.

This seems to be the part where you keep getting lost

You just reached on up to the deepest reaches of your ass and scooped out this assumption that it must be everyone else that misunderstands what they're arguing for. Also funny how this always seems to be the case with communism and socialism specifically

Broseph does this kind of thing way better, leave it for him when he gets back

You mean the same health care system that has had so much innovation it would practically be magic to people 100 years ago is shit?


Is losing your entire life savings in a few months because you had a medical emergency 'innovation' to you?

Know what else would be magical to people who lived 100 years ago? Microwaves. Could we maybe update our standards to modern society?

Because they can't defend capitalism on it's own merits. They always deflect elsewhere. Especially when you point out other first world countries do things differently with far better results.

you are aware that neoliberal capitalism works by exploiting the material resources and labour force of those 'less developed' countries to satisfy the high-consumption habits of wealthy, imperial ones? that elite interests within those wealthy nations use the apparatus of the state (ie. military, intelligence, etc), which they hold captive, to enforce varying types of subjugation on those countries?

This cannot be stressed enough:

A system that values profit above everything else cannot be expected to provide long-term solutions for problems when those solutions aren't profitable.

It's why industries like healthcare and housing are a fucking disaster under capitalism.

Capitalism is literally why we throw away so much good food instead of giving it away. We'd rather throw it in the trash than give it to the homeless or someone else in need.

You try to give it away, it's considered 'theft'. Theft to give away something that was written off as a loss and planned to be discarded.

It would be more akin to "would you take a pay cut if it meant no one gets laid off during economic downturns?"

Which tends to be the case in democratic workplaces, a concept that is socialist in nature

If the "I don't like either of them" guy is a capitalist, then he supports the most murderous failed ideology of all (which also incorporates the virgin windmill, a capitalist ideology), which does sorta make him a cuck.
