Read theory, comrades. Or if you're stupid like me, just listen to audiobooks. 😎😎😎

Not my pic otherwise I'd give a link.

    It's important to remember that Marx's critique of capitalism features a number of contradictions in capitalism. Owners vs Workers is the contradiction most focused on because it's inherent to capitalism, but the Anarchy of the Market and the problem of infinite growth are both problems that would persist in a market-socialism model. It's pretty telling because Vaush's solution to global warming is "I hope people become less greedy" because market socialism doesn't address how markets drive pollution and energy expenditures.

      This point is particularly important in the context of climate change mitigation; modern communism needs to integrate degrowth if it hopes to deal with climate change in any serious manner. Which also involves massive wealth redistribution, including from rich countries to the global south.
