They can hardly industrialize on a sustainable scale right? Tourism is their only possible lifeblood, along with extractive stuff like mining and fishing and being a tax haven. What viable path is there for them under a communist system?

    for it

    Sure, but we would only use them for emergencies, nothing else can justify such a stratospherical (pun attempted) amount of CO2 emissions

      hardly. there's a sustainable amount of emissions (or infinite if air capture runs on clean electricity) and the passenger-kilometer emissions works out favorably compared to alternatives some of the time. There are also short or mid-haul flight routes over terrain where we're not gonna want to build rail where battery electric planes would be more efficient use of resources or peoples' time.
