This is so odd. By your own argument you admit that capitalists are
responsible for the majority of the pollution. But you say it is based on
this success (capitalist efficiency and victory) that capitalism will
prevail yet again?
Let me make a prediction: if capitalists successfully address the environmental issue they will do so only after they are forced to because the price system has been regulated in such a way as to send the "right" signals. But then that will point to the success of the social regulation of capitalist markets and not capitalist markets making good social regulation.
Why so much contempt in your heart Woj?
