The USSR made nuclear lakes! They're still hot today, and that's Communism. They also caused Chernobyl.

Fast forward to now, and oh, that's right, China is a communist nation, and look what they pollute.

Communism as a whole also wins on genocide.

Having said all that, I don't believe any of the commonly discussed forms of govt are anything more than creations by the families that have owned, and run almost everything for a very long time.

What rules all the commonly accepted, or acknowledged forms of govt in the world today? Feudal pieces of crap that literally think a title makes them more worthy than anyone else.

I am not saying USSR don't ruin the environment.

Party A sucks doesn't mean Party B is better.But people always love to saying another party also suck to make themselves feel better.

But the point is you can't say "this is party A's fault" when it's both their fault.

That's what you're dong when you blame capitalism, when the culprit is capitalism+communism+other things. That's why I say technology is more to blame than any ideology

I didn't say I agree the quote ,I posted it for fun and I found it's a little silly.

It's interesting food for thought, no doubt
