It is only sustainable in a free market where everyone is allowed to participate. We just lived through the biggest market share take over and transfer of wealth in history under authoritarian control which left unchecked and corrected will inevitably lead to Socialism. Here's an interesting article about a Political Science study https://fee.org/articles/authoritari...adXSkez9V8cEB0

Don’t we have a floating island of garbage the size of Texas in the ocean? Is this ok? Should we just turn a blind eye at our problems or face them head on?

The system is not perfect and needs adjusting for future generations to exist.

Our green plan is a complete failure. Having foreign oil shipped here buy boat, only to be trucked cross country creating more pollution than using our own much cleaner resources by pipeline.

Trudeaus tree planting plan is working out as well as his single use plastic plan, more lies

Yet we have a PM that has the greatest admiration for the world's largest polluting communists. We will continue to support the world's largest polluters by having them produce supplies for EV's, another green plan failure.

We are not the real problem, but we support the biggest problem

Yup Crash the world capitalist free market, ban plastic straws and replace them with trillions of disposable rapid test kits to usher in your Great Reset, Build Back Better, Sustainable Development, Communism planned Agenda. Makes Totalitarian sense for the " Common Good".

Please show as hard examples where communisam-socialisam or any other system has less impact on the Earth and our resources.

I agreed-capitalism has many opporunities to improve,but as long as You have not lived in other system then capiltalisam, You build your opinion from media or hearsay or propaganda.

I am wondering if all those who despise the consumerism-do they actually practice what they preach?

So you think that because I make a benign comment on thread about capitalism I’m not in favour of it. Interesting assumption. Capitalism has allowed me to own a home, land, a business, receive education and pursued my profession. I’m all for it. The question was about sustainability. It is sustainable, as long as you have consumers to drive it. If the consumer isn’t there, it will collapse under its own weight.

I do not have examples for what you are asking. At that same token, I am not advocating against democracy. This is where the confusion lies. I am basing our failures in capitalism as purely economic. It is not difficult to understand a chicken lays one egg a day, so you can’t eat 2 a day with only one chicken.

The op posted an interesting article based on totalitarianism being a way to control climate change and other issues that democracy can’t or won’t. I don’t endorse totalitarianism. We need to think abstractly to come up with a better system than what we have now.
