lol right, because China and the Soviet Union are wonderful examples of environmentally friendly economic systems /s

> Coal supplied about 55% of China’s total energy consumption in 2021

> It was one of the fastest decimations of an animal population in world history—and it had happened almost entirely in secret. The Soviet Union was a party to the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling, a 1946 treaty that limited countries to a set quota of whales each year. By the time a ban on commercial whaling went into effect, in 1986, the Soviets had reported killing a total of 2,710 humpback whales in the Southern Hemisphere. In fact, the country’s fleets had killed nearly 18 times that many, along with thousands of unreported whales of other species.

> The Soviet whale slaughter followed no such logic. Unlike Norway and Japan, the other major whaling nations of the era, the Soviet Union had little real demand for whale products. Once the blubber was cut away for conversion into oil, the rest of the animal, as often as not, was left in the sea to rot or was thrown into a furnace.

Serving the demand and then imitating the consumism of the capitalists.

I didn't write that 'comunism' is inherently better in the environmental aspect.

At last it is just another ideological idiocy and kakistrocacy.
