Yeah social democracy is good but it doesn't make plastic waste disappear, neither would fascism, it's nonsequitur.

Plastic is cheap. It would be as cheap for a communism as it is a capitalism.

Indeed, the 1st and 3rd worst offenders for plastic per capita are administrative regions of China (Macau and Hong Kong) https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/plastic-pollution-by-country

They're also a capitalism, though, so yeah.
