minus-square@UnderpantsWeevillink2•2 months ago Irrelevant Might want to consult the recent history of plastics and the per capita rate of fossil fuel consumption before and after. specifically the Great Chinese Famine. The Last Chinese Famine? The one right before Chinese industrial agriculture ended famines in the country ever since? My point has never been that only capitalist/non-capitalist countries do awful things Whatever policy you have or practice you perform, privatization makes the ecological harm worse. Once you decouple the cost of waste from the surplus of production, your industrial practices get worse. That means capitalism is directly leading to excess waste.
