So you want to focus on some niche stuff? Leave out the stuff that would not change and currently causes most of the issues?

Why should this type of fashion, for example, even change in communism? People want to look different than others, better, prestige, blablabla many reasons that would not change.

I ask again, how would communism make us sustainable? I do not see it. Some niche stuff is replaced by something else in communism, not worth mentioning. A new phone every year is bad, but not the big problem. People drive 13'500 miles per year on average in the USA, burning 10'000 barrels daily or 1 billion m³ each year, 3 m³ per person each year. Add to that all the fuel for heating homes and making electricity. That is our big problem.

Look at where the CO2 comes from. Heating, electricity, transport and agriculture alone are more than 50 %. Compare that to aviation and shipping, next to nothing. Even an of industry is nothing compared to that. How much are these 4 things supposed to be reduced with communism? And why?

So of we just keep people poor... issue solved. Like someone in Africa or North Korea, they are not going to need more resources than what can be regenerated. Simply because they lack the means to do so.

If we assume a communism with the same level of technology, comfort, ... how would we avoid the exact same issue? Why would people suddenly not drive their own car mostly alone? Heat their homes in winter, causing a big portion of global CO2 emissions by doing so?

"Lol"

Do people in capitalism need more resources? Why? How much more?

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world -5 points 15 hours ago

We are using far more resources as are regenerated. This is why the Earth overshoot Day is a thing. We are at almost 2x the resource usage that would be sustainable.

Usage triples <-> 15 % increase

Pick one. Triple is 300 % increase. Article says 15 % is the proportion using them, not the increase.

What is up with you % symbol? Why is something missing on the right side of the top circle?

Danke für die Info, sehr abstrus. Niemand interessiert so eine Zahl, es geht um Angriffe. Aber die höhere Zahl hat natürlich Potential zum Missbrauch.

Oh, I get it, was reading as base 2 and confused by that. Essentially Roman numerals without all the fancy shortcuts.

Then why is the UN not cancelling the event? Crazy.

In "Dodger" by Terry Pratchett: Why does Dodger scratch "Kaspar" in the carriage of the embassy before setting everything on fire? There is no character I know with that name and if he just randomly picks a German(?) name, why should it remind anyone of him then?
