Communism is better than nothing, but it's going to have to be a global communism to make a difference, since any one of us on the planet can clearly consume 5x+++ their share of resources annually.
Even if we got 75% of the world population with the program, we could still have a consumption problem 5x that of America, because the greatest consumers will be the last to join the revolution.
Climate Stalin is the only thing that might, might improve the situation we're going to find ourselves in. Other than that, we're just going to pollute ourselves and everyone else to extinction, hence my belief that all non-human flora and fauna would be better off without us.
