Swedish eco-activist Greta Thunberg has turned her attention to the political arena, calling for the downfall of capitalism, which she claimed is responsible for climate change.
The 19-year-old climate campaigner launched her book – ‘The Climate Book’ – in London on Sunday night, telling the audience that the world is “never going back to normal again.” She argued that global warming can only be solved by a “system-wide transformation,” according to a write-up of the event by the Telegraph.
The capitalist system, Thunberg continued, is “defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.”
“If economic growth is our only priority, then what we are experiencing now should be exactly what we should be expecting,” she added, before calling the extraction of fossil fuels “racist.”
As some of Thunberg’s critics pointed out online, global living standards have broadly risen under capitalism, while carbon emissions have fallen in the capitalist USA since the turn of the millennium. Thunberg replied to these critics on Wednesday, stating that she is not advocating for a return to “socialism, liberalism, communism, conservatism, centrism, you name it,” which she said “have all failed.”
Thunberg, who has previously been criticized for failing to offer solutions to the problems she outlines, did not say what kind of system she would replace capitalism with.
Shooting to fame after she organized a series of school walk-outs in her native Sweden in 2018, Thunberg has since delivered her dramatic predictions of ecological armageddon to lawmakers across the Western world, to UN summits, and to the World Economic Forum’s yearly gatherings at Davos, Switzerland. WEF founder Klaus Schwab is also an advocate of radically restructuring the global order, a vision he calls “the Great Reset.”
Despite spending several years on the globalist circuit, Thunberg will skip the UN COP27 climate conference in Egypt next week, telling her audience that she now views the summit as a “scam” and an example of “greenwashing” – an attempt by politicians to falsely portray themselves as environmentally friendly.
And she did it in all capital letters.
There it is!
One of them literally showed their hand!
It’s not really about the climate at all
Well, she finally said something honest.
OKAY THEN!!! The little tard has spoken!!
Who?!
Makes sense that a clueless female teeny-bopper is the spokeswoman for the Delusional Lying and Clueless Left.
Who?
This issue is never the issue, the issue is always The Revolution.
Exactly who gives a fig about this idiot?
Greta will get disappeared soon. She said the quiet part out loud.
Are fossil fuels racist because oil and coal are black?
Greta is a useful stooge to implement European medieval feudalism replacing western capitalism. The current oligarchs have no interest in giving up their power and wealth, but they want everyone below them to be on the same playing level as peasants to the state.
She’s so fond of communism they need to send her ass to Siberia. She won’t have to worry about her beloved global warming there. No hurricanes either.
Sometimes I wish people could live in their utopias, but unfortunately it would ruin it for everybody else
HOW DARE SHE!!!???
She must be talking about that capitalist country China.
