UN IS ANTI-CAPITALIST NOW

>Still, the notion of changing our economic system to fit within the physical limits of our reality is seen as highly controversial and isn't something many policy makers will discuss. I lol'd at this


Finally, one of the focal points of liberal capitalism admits or funds research that admits, if you're being nitpicky that abandoning liberal capitalism is of fundamental importance to the health of the human species.

lolbers pls leave

Unless clearly said otherwise this study from the largely US-funded UN presupposes any changes being within the framework of global capitalism. Are the means of production mentioned? Nope

The report specifically mentions post-Keynesian MMT state intervention as a means to achieve those changes. There's just one vague line at the end of the section referencing "alternative economics".
Hardly a clear call for anti-capitalism.

I skimmed it just now. Seems that it favors post-keynesian theory. It decries neoclassical theory as existing for a time of “material abundance”, which I take to mean a time in which industry was still unable to critically harm the global ecology, and it also criticizes it for being completely unable to offer a real solution to the crisis.

It is certainly a kind of moderate, though I can almost feel the writers’ holding their finger over the socialist button, because they have a note about being open to any economic theory that provides for the people, and keeps the oceans from boiling. They clearly favored post-Keynesian theory (mentioned MMT) because it still exists in a market economy, but it seizes on the right of the people to engineer their economy according to their interests through the government, rather than fearing the wrath of the market.

But it is somewhat radical, though so afraid to confront the owner class, because it directly states that the first world will have to accept a decline in living standards because it suggests that the ability to go carbon neutral using batteries and renewables alone by 2040 (for the major markets like the US) will be either impossible or incredibly unlikely, I can’t remember. But one thing that just occurred to me while reading it, I’ve never considered how we industrialize the underdeveloped countries without fossil fuels.

Do you need any more proof that neoliberal ideology is not "just the way things are" and that the persistent willingness to adhere to it is an ideological obligation and not a pragmatic decision? Ideology comes before reality for these people, which is often used as a criticism of the left ironically enough.

Can someone with a reddit account please post this on /r/neoliberal as "Rational evidence based policy is now anti-capitalist" and see what their responses are?

how about we don't

If only, if only this flag was in red and yellow. It'd be so kick-ass.

I’ll be honest lads, every time we have a climate change thread I feel like I’m losing my mind. This paper brings up the same thing I’ve read in several other sources (including Desert where I first saw it), which is that we basically can’t do shipping and aviation on anything close to the scale we know no without fossil fuels. That is huge, the world has to deglobalize and regions have to basically become closer to self sufficient. This is never brought up in the wider media talks about climate change, and this is one of the central reasons I feel like we’ve never had a REAL public discussion about what needs to happen. And that makes me feel like I’m living in fucking crazy town on one hand, and like we are fucked on the other. It feels as though we are so fucked. Even the socialist left doesn’t feel like it is grappling with this much. We are aware of it, but sometimes it feels like we can’t even truly acknowledge that we are going to have to really diminish our lifestyles and consumption. We may have to ration energy. We may have to suppress meat production. None of this is popular, and nobody wants to confront at is a political project that needs to happen.

Yay, very nice. Thanks.

More than rationing, we need complete urbanization, green urbanization. The world we need is one where everything you need: grocery store, the office, the theater, is all in biking distance, we literally can't afford to have rural or suburban communities anymore.

Do we need Magnasanti?

The IMO has committed to zero emissions by 2050, but it seems options right now are mostly speculative. A mixture of hydrogen fuel cells and diesel engines may diminish emissions, but obviously not end them. There are also ships that are supposed to be outfitted with solar along with their hydrogen fuel cells.

Why not create self sufficiency in every country and thus end the shipping industry altogether? or better yet bring sails back

naaahhhh

I think climate change is going to be the catalyst that instigates a move away from Liberalism. Society might not entirely ditch Capitalism, but ideas such as
will become history.

realistically speaking we are, it's way too late to stop or even slow down the process and the best we can do is adapt, and frankly, that's highly unlikely to happen
humanity will probably survive but only after mass die off and massive reduction in living standards
