Even if we acknowledge capitalism is responsible for the rising tide of the last 100+ years (and even that is highly situational), it’s obviously not working anymore and without a way to externalize the costs of capitalism to people and places that “dont matter” those tools meant to externalize damage are now pointed inwards and the rewards fail to trickle down. now we’re all losing more than we put in, with that surplus value going only to the owners.
Somewhat? It went all the way from shit hole to super wealthy in 30 years.
You’re ignoring the hundreds of millions of Ukrainian, Russian, Belarusian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Moldovan, Yugoslav, Hungarian… lives who went to shit after socialism was dissolved.
Soviet union did both a shit job at transitioning to capitalism, and has one of the most propaganda shaped societies in the world. Ukraine also struggles with fucking war with Russia right now.
There’s a research around communism nostalgia, and in countries that did transformation correctly, it isn’t really a thing.
Even if you try to bring up China’s lower emissions per person, though quickly climbing in the last 2 decades with higher petrol use every year, they’re currently trying to stop population from falling while being more than double the pop per km as the USA.

Citation needed. It works pretty well where I live.
pretty funny how nearly all pro-capitalist notion comes down to “I’m privileged enough to be happy with the status quo”
Considering communism was voted out in fair elections here and noone wants it back, your argument is invalid.
Sorry about your capitalism brainwashing.
Sorry for moving from utter poverty to powerhouse economy rivaling UK. That wasn’t the plan.

TIL communism don’t pollute.
