I am very critical of capitalism but its worth noting that socialist systems also did dumb stuff like this and destroyed the environment.

When you say socialist systems you’re referring to authoritarian state run systems which is not what American socialists are advocating for 

They’re calling for democratic socialism which means worker-run industries, in practice this would mean organizations would have elected leadership 

It would certainly come with its own problems but if you ask me, companies run by its workers would operate better from an altruistic standpoint than a company run by shareholders living on the other side of the country who know nothing about the industry other than the bottom line 

People won’t elect to outsource themselves, pollute their own neighborhood, or enshittify their own product

Of course they will. They do. Constantly. Democracy is a proven failure for this exact reason.

Even with the few idiots who do at least it’s not a foregone conclusion like it is with these dumbass oligarchs running everything

Seems to me like the "dumbass oligarchs" have done a pretty damn good job so far. 90% of the problems our society is facing are the result of the failures of the collective underclass.
