    It’s not that they refuse to do anything, they just refuse to do anything that would challenge the power of the capitalist class.

      Change they to we.

      Whether the goal is political action or direct action; Get organized.

      Local organizations become regional, regional become national.

      If “They” are not going to save us, “We” have to do it.

      Organize, vote, act.

      So called “communists” are also contributing massively to the problem. Though one could argue they’re really just capitalist too.

            If the rest of the first world had the same per capita consumption of China, we wouldn’t be barrelling towards the point of no return in the way we are now. A large majority of pollution in China comes from manufacturing goods for the Global North.

              Yes so “communist” China is a willing participant in the destruction of our planet. And seeks to benefit directly and operate in full compliance with the hyper consumerism that is getting us further and further into global disrepair. Got it. Glad we agree.
