Kind of. It's the system they operate under, capitalism.

Get rid of those specific people and you would have others people take their place.

However, not to say that it isn't worthwhile to also bust out the guillotines

If you bust out the guillotine, the people who replace them will behave as if they've seen what happens when the guillotines get busted out.

Renewables+nuclear is cheaper and in a truly free market would beat out oil

[–] NewDark@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cheaper is not the same as more profitable. It's an important distinction. You can't own and control the sun and charge people to harvest the energy. Monopolizing and gatekeeping are the end goals of capital owners.

Unless you think the Chinese market is more free. They're producing solar panels like crazy.

Oil is only profitable for the people producing oil, which is not most people

Then? More people have the incentive to break from this than not

[–] NewDark@lemmings.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

OK. Oil is only profitable for a select few people now. Why don't we rise up in arms to change production and seize the means of production now? More people have incentive to now than not (most people are not oil billionaires), why doesn't it change?

Coercion through state violence, a propaganda apparatus telling you the only way to structure society is through capitalism, and treats to sedate the masses from revolting against their living conditions.

A magic nebulous "more free" market doesn't change that.

One path requires a break from capitalism through a mass revolution and the other doesn't

Would you say the health industry is exactly the same after Luigi?

[–] NewDark@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Exactly? Of course not

Almost exactly? Yes

So if one death changes at least a little bit. Can't you believe that 100 deaths might change something?
