Capitalism, Socialism Or Theocracies, Environmental And Human Rights Records

 Many of the environmental problems that humanity faces today originated with the rise of the industrial revolution. 

The tribes that live off of the land and that were not part of the industrial revolution have largely been wiped out. Some still exist deep in the Amazon rainforest and the Congo rainforest and a few other locations. Their way of life was often considered not civilized and most of it has been wiped out.

The economic and political systems that dominate, capitalism, socialism and theocracies, all have terrible track records when it comes to the environment.

The socialists like to talk about the evils of concentrated wealth in capitalism, but in every socialist system, wealth is concentrated in the hands of an elite, corrupt and abusive few. 

The reality does not match the rhetoric, neither for socialism nor for theocracies. 

Human rights abuses are far greater in theocratic and socialist states than in liberal democracies operating on capitalist/social welfare platforms.

This does not mean capitalist systems should be blindly accepted, and that improvement must cease to be the goal.

It does mean that people selling socialism or theocracies as paradises are lying.

The oil rich theocracies live off of socialist and capitalist systems that buy their oil. All they offer, with few exceptions, are systems of intolerance, religious bigotry, environmental waste and destruction, and terrible exploitation of many foreign workers. 

Qatar is a prime example. They export violence, terror, bigotry and intolerance. Foreign workers, especially women and laborers are often abused in the worst ways imaginable. If not for the oil and gas beneath their ground, which supports their abuse, intolerance and the bigotry they export, and lets them live in fat cat luxury, they would be no different than the nightmare organizations and regimes they support and prop up, including far more than Hamas and Afghanistan's Taliban - which has  mired Afghanistan in poverty, intolerance and horrible human rights abuses, including child marriage, terrible oppression of women and girls.

Socialism is not the answer, and neither are theocracies. This is not an opinion. It is fact that can easily be confirmed. Do your own research. Do not be deceived by seductive promises.
