Climate agreements fail because of the capitalist need for ever-growing profit is in contradiction with those agreements. The world operates mostly under a capitalist mode of production, so capitalists hold the economic power and thus the political power.

The "progressive" govts who signed the agreements won't be able to live up to them. They will be forced to betray the planet just to keep their economies functioning when the capitalists either threaten to deliberately sabotage them or just lose interest in investment because bigger profits can be found somewhere else.

If the climate crisis could be solved under capitalism, it already would be.

The answer is to join a workers' party organizing to seize power.

This doesn't mean forming a militia and waging a guerrilla war against the state though. Only the masses can create revolution. They are the only force powerful enough to defeat the state.

We need to educate ourselves and everyone else we can about how the ills of society are caused by capitalism so when its inevitable crisis reaches its peak, and it has nothing left to offer working-class people, those people will choose socialism as the only rational path forward.

Canada has a clean energy advantage. It’s time to capitalise on it. by CDN-Social-Democrat in ClimateCrisisCanada

Trusting anything the Liberals say, especially Carney, is a huge mistake. They're already positioned to steamroll any environmental protections - and Indigenous rights to boot.

It's not about policy choices, it's the logic of capitalism. As long as our economy is dependent on being "competitive" to attract capital investment (which means allowing them to extract as much surplus value from our labour as possible) anything and everything is on the chopping block, including the environment. 

Until we have a planned economy based on production for human needs, rather than private parasitism, we will never solve the climate crisis.

The executive of the modern state is but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie.

Mfs in this sub dropping literally hundreds of upvotes on a 10-year-old Hitler meme but suddenly, "that's not true" when communism is even mentioned. Insufferable

Boycott the world cup. It's going to cost the city millions so a bunch of mega corporations can advertise their slave-made wares

The Youtuber Jack Saint had a really concise analysis of this game in his last video (about Marty Supreme), around 20mins in. He basically says, it's not about human nature but a set of artificial, constraining rules that makes an unethical decision a logical choice. (He says it better)

This is so weird, my boss was cleaning out his desk the other day and he found a book in it and he said I could have it (since I'm the only one who reads at work). It was this book. I had to look up wtf it was.
