Climate change is going to be unprecedented and how things used to work can't really predict what is going to happen and it's speculative. But I think this is what's going to happen based on my scientific educational background. My economic, sociological knowledge is limited and I could be missing things there. But basically the most important thing is supply chains will fall apart. Countries overly dependent on imported food like uk will fall apart or return to piracy. It's going to be a shit show but countries like China that can isolate and due to their large geography have resources, can maintain a level of civilization. Smaller counties simply can't embrace capitalism because they'll either be farming or cooked because trade is going to decline massively. I mean large parts of the planet (for example India and Pakistan) will simply be uninhabitable. It's not a question of who turns to capitalism or communism. It's who is already there and which is a more effective system to deal with climate change.
No, it's still a question of who turns to capitalism or communism, because the systems in place don't exist on the basis of informed consent on the part of the whole population or an even more nebulous mechanism that decides what is "effective," it is based on the degree to which the proletariat is organized as a coherent political force and the extent to which the country is developed such that it can actually support socialism. Neither of those things are the case almost anywhere in the world that isn't already calling itself socialist (and even in some places that are). Your framework, however you intend it, is essentially a depoliticization of the mode of production, which is simply ahistorical.
You've shifted from pure geopolitical wishcasting to environmental collapse posadism.
Disagree. The lack of resources means economic de-development. Calling your economic system either capitalist or communist at that point is arbitrary (yes technically they could be categorized but it is of no practical use). The only exception I see are nations like China and Russia that have vast resources that can also defend themselves. And even they will face a decline as they adapt
First this is just a truism. Secon, What's your point because next you say
Is it that countries won't go socialist? I mean I don't think socialism is going to thrive in the capitalist carcasses of most counties once capitalism fails. It could, you never know but I don't get your point. You aren't making your conclusion clear at all. Like I dunno maybe give your opinion on how things will play out.
Do you know what wish casting means? Why would anyone want things to play out like this?
And I have no idea what you mean by environmental collapse posadism. I'm sorry to address each point individually but I can't find your overall argument so here we are
