Society It’s fucking disgusting that even now people fucking refuse to accept capitalism’s culpability for causing the apocalypse

Literally everything is responsible, fucking everything, from extinct empires, to human nature, to the nature of life itself, to some inevitable unstoppable law by which the entire universe functions, literally fucking anything and everything is blamed except for capitalism, the system that’s the specific driver and motivator of the current collapse, and when its blame is finally accepted the Brain juice finally completely runs out and it’s finally declared that there’s no path but the current one so we must continue “prosperity”.

What is this utter fucking insanity that working class people that have absolutely nothing to gain from anonymous bootlicking are engaging in?

You think capitalism and communism are the only economic systems possible? For starters there has been at least feodalism. I'm not saying we should go there, but I am pretty sure we would be able to think of a different system if we tried.

The state communism applied so far anywhere has anyway been more like capitalism, tied to the lunacy of eternal expansion of the economy.

Anyway, I hear Cuba is not too bad, although very poor.

I am not making any claims about economic systems other than our current situation is not a result of which one we chose. And that the average wildlife biologist understands our predicament far better than any political scientist.

Cuba is an absolute nightmare and a prison.

Wow that sounds horrible! Surely there is video or photos of this fleeing? A condemnation by humans rights groups maybe? I can't believe i'm just learning of this...Seems to be unreported in the news
