you’re arguing for a vote-with-your-wallet approach

You quoted someone else and then accused me of arguing for something I’m absolutely not. Did you reply to the wrong person? For the benefit of anyone who stumbles over this bizarre exchange, my question is super simple:

How will you convince 8 billion people to dramatically lower their standard of living?

Currently we are consuming about 2 earths worth of resources (if everyone lived like Americans it would be 20 earths). Obviously capitalism makes this worse, but the question remains. What then?

Once we abolish capitalism, this will raise standards of living. More people will want cars and air-conditioning and so on. More people will want to eat meat. So what’s the plan?

we are producing 1000 times the food we need

no we are not

You’re technically correct. It’s closer to 100, but my point stands.
