Your logic: "We've identified the problem is capitalism. Stop pointing at it and start pointing at something else, that'll solve it!"

Now what?

Now we organise to abolish capitalism in historically achievable ways, such as unionisation of workers, creation of socialist and dual power structures, and the eventual revolution.

Nope, but nice try trying to strawman me.

I'm talking about taking actual individual action to stop the problem instead of merely pointing fingers.

such as unionisation of workers, creation of socialist and dual power structures, and the eventual revolution.

Okay, so we've unionised the workers, how does that stop oil companies polution?

We have socialist dual power structures, how does that stop fossil fuel emissions?

We have """the revolution""" does that magically make fossil fuels go away?

My point is you can blame capitalism all you like, but at the very least in the short/medium term if we want to actually do something about climate change we need to change how we behave. As even under a socialist or communist system people will still use electricity, that will still be generated by fossil fuels.and people will still ship things in from other countries. And good luck pushing socialism in any major western country right now.
