    I'd like to believe that too but I suspect when climate refugees start moving in the tens of millions, dwarfing any so-called "refugee crisis" we've seen in the past, things will sadly probably move in the other direction.

      I'm thinking more about domestic unrest. Climate refugees are probably fucked, unfortunately.

        My fear is that many countries will go full fascist when such refugees start coming at the borders, rather than full communist.

          I mean, in the global south countries where people are just dying in droves, where presumably there won't be many at the borders. And if they're forced to reorganize their economies, I don't think even a fascist US could hold on to the global empire.

            I tend to agree with you, it’s sad that things will likely have to get that bad before they can get better, but hopefully a solidly communist global south will be able to if not thrive, at least mitigate the worst parts of the climate apocalypse and keep people alive
