Capitalism is the problem—as long as capital controls government (DNC and GOP), they’ll continue telling you that it’s your responsibility as a consumer or voter or whatever to prevent the climate crisis: drive less, recycle, don’t shower, eat impossible burgers, be green, don’t use plastic straws, etc. These aren’t real solutions; they leave the system intact, they preserve our dependency on fossil fuel, and hence, they preserve the power of the industries that are causing this catastrophe in the first place. These solutions are politically conservative. [That is why liberals are just conservatives: they’re both committed to capital.] There’s no solution to this problem without confronting capital. This is an international class struggle; we literally have nothing to lose and our one and only planet to gain.
