    Other economic systems aren’t exactly protective of the environment either though, so I don’t really get your point.

      Other economic systems don’t incentivise companies to produce trash products that break quickly to keep the customer coming back, or to use non-recyclable materials because they cost 3 cents less.

        Oh yes, they do. Corruption, unrealistic n-year plans and secrecy for example lead to defective products, poor quality and accidents. That’s exactly what happened in Chernobyl, and I don’t need to tell you how bad that was for the environment.

        Which economic system, in your opinion, would produce the highest quality products? And you can use whatever definition of quality you like

          The Six Nations managed to keep their economic system functioning without a hiccup for at least 15,000 to 25,000 years. That one seems to work.

            Ok. Let’s switch to six nations.

            That definitely answers my question

                When the response to my question of “what do you think is better” is an esoteric shout out to a culture that’s been dead for thousands of years, that isn’t even in the first page of Google results for “six nations” yeah. You’re right. It’s not a good faith argument

                    Because that’s a thing capitalism is great at? If the connection between capitalism and ruthless efficiency and iteration isn’t apparent to whoever is reading this then it’s really not worth the conversation
