I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

Our current model is driving the world off an ecological cliff. The externalities of free market capitalism are fast approaching and it should be clear as day to any rational person that it is a massive failure.

So your response to why would workers have no disputes is because pollution?

Well the idea that no workers would ever have any disputes was your contribution to the discussion, not a claim I ever made. Of course they would have disputes, and those disputes would be dealt with democratically. You like democracy, I assume?

My point in bringing up climate change is that people like to bring up the current system as a working model. But it doesn’t work at all. If we continue doing things the way we are we are cooked.

How many times has diplomacy ever solved a dispute? Munich 1938 is a great example on why they usually only delay the inevitable

Human ingenuity is the innovation engine behind all technological advancements. Capitalism stifled green tech for years, and still does, by putting way too much money in the hands of O and G companies who have had every motivation to do so to protect their business.

Lol capital is shifting non-green companies to be more sustainable, not the other way around.
