Time to get out the guillotines. Socialism or extinction.

[-] joborun@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

In what way would socialism prevent extinction, environmental degradation, or global warming? It might even make things worse, as capitalists only exploit the earth and its people to make profit. Marxism has a goal to expand industrialization to relieve humanity of harsh labor and to provide products for all people. The love affair with development is as much a capitalist value as it is a Marxist infatuation.

Please read the book Socialist Reconstruction that was put out by the Party for Socialism and Labor. The sentence that you have starting with "Marxism" is not factual and completely debunked by not only the chapter on farming, but any of the chapters that touch on climate change at all.

Your heart is in the right place, but telling someone to read a book they already know they're going to disagree with has got to be one of the least effective ways of persuading anyone. People read books about things they already think are worthwhile, not to convince themselves they're wrong and some stranger on the internet is right.

I know I just don’t have the mental energy to argue with a chud right now
