I've completely lost hope that capitalism can be defeated in time to take action on climate. Global collapse will do it in before revolution at this rate
It may end up being too late to prevent collapse, but it will never be too late to get revenge
Humanity will be victorious, communism is inevitable, it's just too bad billions will burn in fire before it happens
This, this is my new fucking slogan
Beautiful <3
The only hope seems to be the US eating shit in a world war it started, so that the rest of the world can move on without worrying about US approval
This is a very long process, and a world War would be the last straw for climate. If it has a similar time line as ww2, then even if 2024 is equivalent to 1932 or such, that would mean an end to the war around 2040 or 2050, so another 20 years of hyper emissions and ecological horrors resulting from the war machines, before there would be a chance for coordinated global action on climate so, again, the damage would be beyond devastating and possibly completely destabilizing for surviving nations, global socialist alliance or not
Ignore me I'm just dooooomin
I think the destabilization is already baked in at this point, the question is which class will have the political agency do decide how the misery is distributed
That seems highly optimistic
In fact it sounds exactly like the way people were talking in 1914
China is making some big moves towards green energy that give me hope. Ironically I think US aggression has pushed them to seek energy independance at an accelerated rate. They also needed to point their massive productive capacity towards something new anyways since their urbanization efforts are slowing.
