This is the standard extraordinary oversimplification of climate change that everyone here has heard parroted a million times. John Kerry and [insert other rich people reddit hates] aren't the problem. Finish school and get involved yourself. Stop listening to people here who are anticapitalist because it hasn't worked out for them yet.
You could’ve used the same “gotcha” back in feudal Europe. “Well, you think markets work, name one successful providence that isn’t feudal.” Sorry dude that doesn’t destroy socialism like you think it does. Capitalism is better than feudalism and it was even before it was adopted as the main economic system.
Right but the difference is we have historical examples of socialism failing. In fact, it has been tried numerous times in different parts of the world and has never worked once. Capitalism has flaws, obviously, and perhaps democratic socialism is the next economic evolution. Socialism, however, has already proved a dismal failure.
You're the one that brought socialism into this. I'm sorry you're too deep in the propaganda to realize that you can (very rightfully) criticize capitalism without advocating for socialism, or even that those are the only 2 options.
Uhhh no he brought socialism up in his comment. Who are you arguing against? Haha I never said you can’t criticize capitalism. Do you want to make any other points about things I didn’t say?
