That doesn't change the fact that capitalism, right now, is the main cause of global warming, of the plague that are plastics, the cause of overexploitation of resources, of world hunger and human misery.

While you claim that people under communism have suffered, it only lasted during a short historical period. And if you look over time how much suffering and destruction that capitalism has caused globally, it completely dwarfs what happened in communist dictatorships.

My whole point was that under capitalism, if something makes a profit, even killing poeple or the destruction of an entire planet, they'll do it. Just look at how the US is selling weapons. Just look at how they're tearing apart environmental protection laws. Look at how the top richest people in this world are only just 1%, yet contribute to the majority of carbon emissions ans trash.

Brother, stop with the communist whataboutism.
