Capitalism is a major problem in China, there are workers who work for first world monsters such as Apple who are in compounds for months at a time, on little more then 20$ a month and work in horrible conditions. While we play on our iphones, workers spend the rest of their life making them for the first world to consume them.

An untold number of Soviets and Soviet farmland were poisoned by Communist radioactive fallout, when the Chernobyl unit 4 nuclear power plant steam explosion occurred in 1986. Subsequent failings by plant management led to many deaths that could have been prevented, had they took seriously the first eyewitness reports about the exposed reactor core.
The Chernobyl nuclear power plant and all RMBK reactors were avoidable accidents just waiting to happen! But Soviet secreccy, cover ups, the silencing of scientists, refusal to make safety modifications, ill-trained plant mamagement, etc, caused Chernobyl to happen! -
And thats what china gets for turning capitalist in the 80th´s under deng.

Seriously what do expect will happen when you put the power in the hands of the privileged few of government this is the reason communism has never and will never work whether it is Stalinist, Maoism, Leninism or any other authoritarian dictator you somehow expect to look after the needs of the people.

Yorktown USA is correct. One need only see the environmental catastrophes in East Germany's pollution triangle and the Soviet Union. This is an argument for Regulation of effluents not Marxist-Leninist first phase Socialism (stop using Communism, Lenin in the State and Revolution pointed out that Communism is the final stage. We have never had Communism only various attempts at Socialism). However if you wanted to point out that Capitalism, any Capitalism is not a Good Thing, that is a very valid point.

Learn to use your brain for once, Jason. A dictatorial government forces peasants to use chemicals for growing crops (on government land!) and you blame this on capitalism ? I really don't like ad hominems but you truly are an idiot...

I disagree with you, because the way you say that, it's first world workers fault, that third world are exploited. That's not true, as a worker I have no control on the government of Canada. But the working class should organize and fight capitalist here to!
Most of the environmental issues could be solve if workers had control of security at work. Like the Lac-Mégantic disaster, if we had more driver or if the rail was in better condition, that could be avoid and that was also a environmental disaster. -
I've never cared for this communist/environmentalist argument. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't care about pollution, but to say that pollution is due to capitalism only... no.

Define first world again, cause with the way things are now and what they have in plan for us with TPP. Ummmmm, I think we're going to be fucked just like the low level of Chinese.

When it looks too good to be true - then its too good to be true. That goes for Western food too. Supermarkets bursting with cheap produce - but on the downside, Mad Cow's Disease, pesticides wiping out the bees, plastic bottles causing hormone imbalances, antibiotics force fed to livestock causing new resistant strains of TB, growth hormone, horse-meat, GM, intensive farming causing Swine flu and Bird Flu. You know, I'd sooner put up with a few empty shelves and eat non-toxic food. And looking at obesity rates, we could all do with a few shortages.

Thank you capitalism

What can we workers in the first world do for the third world worker?
