Yep, just slapping a "communist party" sticker on the property owning class doesn't make a difference

Except you oversimplified and it matters. The entire point of capitalism is to centralize money in the hands of a few at the expense of the rest. Capitalism itself demands continued growth, which is unsustainable.

All forms of government are subject to corruption, but only some forms of government are broken by design.

All nation states

I'm 13 and this is deep.

Why? Capitalism cannot solve Climate Change, as it depends on the highest possible profit margins and rampant consumerism. Transitioning from a profit-focused system to fulfilling uses and needs in Socialism, where the Proletariat is in charge and can collectively agree to tackle Climate Change, is the only path forward.

This seems like you just want to be edgy and doomerist with nothing to back yourself up.

It was corrupted as soon as the country was founded, it was meant to service white slave owning men.

Our government was corrupted long before that. Harlow Vs Fitzgerald in 1982 comes to mind as the SCOTUS unintentionally legislated from the bench due to some southern revisionist in 1874.

Woodrow "literally wrote Southern Revisionism" Wilson is where I would point my finger at where the corruption actually took root.

With reasonable, actionable steps. If you don't have those, then they kind of have a point, don't they? It's like the Newton's flaming laser sword of politics.

To be honest i offen feel the same, just helpless and too insignificant to change it in my own. But thats the point, we are not allone! I just try to show them undenieble facts, the already very present effect of climate crisis or just statistics of how the money is distributed in our country. The thing I struggle most with them is their bad feith in people. For example many welfare programs or in the extreme the concept of unconditional income by the state gets always used to argue that people are lazy and it would not work because no one would get a job anymore, which i disagree with

Catastrophic =/= "we all die".

Negative 20 is in fact less than five and twenty, so I think you are both technically correct.

What are the non-capitalist countries doing to fight climate change?

Lots of solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear energy investment in the public sector. Huge investments in mass transit and electric engines. Conversion of old coal powered steel production to electric. Dense urban real estate department. Disposable waste reduction. Big efforts at tree planting along the Gobi Desert.

They've been very "all options on the table" about climate change. Some work. Some don't. But the progress is undeniable.

"Massive coal" was twenty years ago. India is "massive coal" now.

They have an electric car that costs $10,000.

They are quickly switching from Li batteries to Na, which will not require Ni or Co either.

They have a mixture of capitalism and central planning, so it's not entirely fair to call them "non-capitalist".

I remember when it was so cold out that my car overheated in the winter because all of the coolant (rated to below zero Fahrenheit), froze. Now, I'm damn near blasting the AC in winter because it's so damn warm.

Come change is happening. IDK how much more proof people really need... The argument of winter still being cold isn't applicable anymore.

Depends in how much you dont want to die

They are all crooked mate.
