    Those companies aren’t polluting for fun, are they? If nobody buys their products, no pollution is done.

    Of course, a valid counterargument is that buying alternatives is too expensive (or non-existent, which most likely also has to do with price). And then the valid recourse is politics, subsidising alternatives, or in my opinion the better choice: making polluting products more expensive (by means of carbon tax or cap and trade).



  • In what sense was it not an actual effort? Just because it quickly slid into non-marxism doesn’t say anything about the initial idea of the revolutionaries. Bakunin predicted exactly what would happen with Marxism, and it did every time.

    If you are against an authoritarian state, the only viable way to communism is to skip the dictatorship part directly and just have anarchism.
