This argument is strange to me, because super-wealthy people don't pollute just because they can. They do it because it's profitable...and it's profitable because people buy their products.

"It's your fault I'm killing the environment because even though I know my products are killing the environment, you keep buying them so why should I change anything?"

Yeah that sounds exactly like the corporate propaganda I see everywhere

I agree with socialism, but I disagree with how many socialists think it's a panacea to everything bad about society.

Pollution? Socialism.

Racism? Socialism.

Sexism? Socialism.

Homophobia? Socialism.

I've never yet heard a plan for converting a capitalist country, any capitalist country, to socialism. Yet we're supposed to abandon whatever cause we're fighting for and instead bang the drum for socialism, because that will solve everything.
