RE: Is Capitalism Responsible For Environmental Destruction? A short thought exercise!
One of the weakest points of capitalism of all types (so all the hyphenated forms need not feel holier than thou) is that it commodifies the earth without actually sustaining it or giving back to it. The whole idea is to use up as much of the earth as a resource (literally every resource) as you can without ruinning out and die before its your problem.
However, capitalism is nothing without its ability to just keep feeding itself. I think its somewhat viable for capitalists to provide incentive towards others and their own practices that would help keep the Earth as a more viable and long lasting resource.
Nobody likes to admit its the only thing not charging for food or housing while they use it up to make ends meet for food and housing.
Exactly!!!
