“Instead of trying to solve the problem we currently have, with the systems and tools that are there, how about we forget about the problem and work on something much much harder instead”.
Don’t get me wrong you’re absolutely free and welcome to advocate for systemic solutions. But don’t attack people working on alleviating symptoms in a practical way or I’ll call you an accelerationist. “Here’s how we implement socialism! Step one: Burn the planet”.
If you think the problem is being solved in the current system I will leave you to your delusions.
Go ahead, enlighten us. What is that magical praxis that will turn the world socialist before the Netherlands sink into the ocean?
Capitalism sucks, yes, but you can count on the self-interest of capital. Furnish regulation such that the thing we want them to do has the best ROI, they’re going to do it. Hard to implement? Well then guess what’s even harder to implement.
The RoI of renewables is already heavily subsidized by the government, and it is still unable to compete with that of fossil fuels. Carbon offsets/credits, a market solution, are very often useless. And that’s when solutions are even passed against all the lobbying. There is no market solution out of this. The sooner social democrats realize this, the better.
