  1. Yes a world controlled by mega corporations and banks will definitely save the planet. I struggle to understand how consumerism helps save the planet when people are buying things they don’t actually need.

  8.  @Fattydeposit  well yes, capitalism ensures economic growth. Socialism is redistribution of wealth until there is no wealth left.

  9.  @Fattydeposit  oh yeah revolutions, death of those deemed to be bourgeois and anybody deemed to be a threat to the state. You are aware communist regimes took part in World Wars, right? Whereas communism/socialism causes millions of deaths, mass starvation and no personal freedom for an ideology which fails every single time it is applied.

  10.  @Fattydeposit  or perhaps because the people don't really want to live under an oppressive regime where they have no freedoms and liberty? Capitalism also allows people to become entrepreneurs and create their own wealth. Not to be 'equal' to everyone else while those who run the oppressive regime live the lives of luxury. What would you call those sent to the gulags? All those millions worked to death under communist regimes.
