A revolution will never happen and if it did we would just end up with some lunatic in charge. A power vacuum always attracts the people you do not want at the top. We’d just end up with some fascist system again.
Democracy went away for 1500 years, then France tried it and reverted to Empire.
Now most people live in democracies.
How exactly did that happen? Educate us
Then remove the larger thing that creates the vacuum area. Don’t have positions of power.
Wow! You just solved everything! /S
No one likes cancer, therefore remove all cancer. What a genius take!
What about not liking work, surely we can just abolish it 🙄.
That’s actually how you treat cancer though. You remove all of it. And it hurts you while you do it but if you survive you get to keep going a lot longer.
Its like literally a fine analogy.
lenin literally wrote a manual for revolution, and the method works consistently. just saying.
Yeah cause that shit turned out great for Russia. Maybe we (Americans) should follow our own history and do what Woodrow Wilson and FDR did. Tax the bastards, tax them till they bleed.
russia saw one of the biggest jumps in quality of life for its citizens in recorded history.
we tried taxing the rich, they are dismantling these in the world as we speak and they will keep doing it again and again as long as we let them exist as a class.
capitalism is obsolete.

Either you are joking or you are very stupid. Or perhaps you are one of Putin’s little puppets, trying to recontextualize the USSR and the various atrocities it committed against its own people.
Regardless, you are very very wrong.
Edit: and now I’m remembering how many tankies reside here on Lemmy.
Go back to beehaw lmao. Even democracies struggle to vote for people actually working towards a greener future. Surely this time a revolution will bring a solution
“even democracies” as if China isn’t pretty much kicking every western democracy’s ass at going green right now…
I don’t support China’s authoritarian state but being in a liberal democracy is exactly why we’re having a hard time, corporations buy and sell political will in a liberal democracy.
End capitalism
China’s per capita carbon output is lower than the US and Canada and their solar and battery technology is looking like the best in the world right now. It’s part of why the US is taking protectionist measures against Chinese green technologies.
This while still being a manufacturing economy for the most part, i.e. making things for the rest of the world to consume. It’s easier to go green in a service economy.
It’s not controversial to say China is doing a lot more and moving faster towards their environmental goals. We have people all over the world studying and writing about this.
Where’s your info from? Gut?
I’m not speaking about the U.S. with its screwed electoral college and first-past the post system. I’m speaking out of the perspective of a German where we have a strong representative democracy with rampant populist parties having major influence in politics due to the amount of people that vote for them.
rampant populism is a symptom of capitalists controlling the process through money. my country is exactly the same through us influence.
of course different countries different circunstances, but changing around the players of the game barely changes anything if we don’t strive to change the game.
Erm, no, lol. Not even close. They can kill some or maybe all of the human race. The planet though? It’s been through way more dramatic climate change in just the last 100,000 years than us pesky humans could even dream about causing.
Nuclear Armageddon you say? Even a nuclear winter can only last so long. Modern nukes are much more about blast shockwave, and burning things than spreading radioactive materials anyway. Chernobyl released way more radionuclides than your average bomb, and that was comparatively not a big deal.
The biggest extinction events are always super volcanoes. Short of interference from the outside universe like a gamma ray burst or the sun dying the volcanoes will still be the source of the most severe extinction events. Do you really think we could do something a giant meteor couldn’t? Piss off.
Preventing climate change is all about saving our own arses and the arses of those unlucky species currently stuck with us.
Even if all carbon production stopped today, it would not be possible for humans to survive.
Humanity will survive until the last star in the galactic neighborhood goes out.
Humans though. Sure, we got like 90 years at best most of the time lol. I’m sure we will be able to change that enough in the future. Sadly I wasn’t able to make it that far.
And if you’re serious… Stop drinking the flavor aid lol.
until the last star in the galactic neighborhood goes out.
thats big wishful thinking. one stray meteor thats big enough and we are fucked.
collapse of ecosystems? fucked. neutron star burst? fuckkkedd.
Meteor, not likely anymore but it’s easily the only real killer for us now.
There’s nothing in our neighborhood that can fry us.
In reality there’s only two, stray objects we can see large enough to turn the entire crust into lava.
Yellowstone cauldron? Not big enough.
Nukes? Not enough of them.
Small-medium asteroids. Same as nukes.
Viruses? Not good enough to wipe out everyone.
It’s literally stray black holes, an asteroid we haven’t spotted large enough to wipe us all out. Or alien attacks ala dark forest from LSV attacks.
