Climate change affects everyone, but it will disproportionately affect working-class people and poor countries. This is why the planet needs socialism.Ok, let me get this straight: based on small rises in temperature data measured in places like this, we should get sterilized AND overturn capitalism?
...
There are more workers than capitalists. The only difference is that most of the workers are not organized and do not realize our own power. If we unite, we can overturn this irrational capitalist system and begin to build socialism—a rational system based on economic planning.
Under socialism, the workers’ state can impose mandatory emissions controls and implement emissions reduction technology in a coordinated fashion. The worst case scenario of global warming can be averted.
In a socialist society, like Cuba, the government run for and by the people can impose mandatory emissions controls and implement emissions reduction technology in a coordinated fashion.
Capitalism cannot save the planet. In fact, if it continues it will likely destroy it.
Socialism is an alternative that is real and necessary—for working people and the world we live in.
