I wish for all systems of capitalism to collapse to be replaced by something better for the most people possible. (lemmy.one)

Granted. World War 3 breaks out which brings the worst human's rights violations that you can think of, followed by nuclear annihilation.

Sure, capitalism fell but so did 95% of humanity. What remains are some small groups of people suffering in the post apocalyptic hell, and the ultra rich who enjoy a life of luxury in their underwater bunker city.

How is that different from the impending climate crisis?

This is a different bad ending, much faster and with more intentional suffering.
