Socialism is Bad for the Environment
“All the time we hear socialists say, ‘Next time, we’ll get it right.’ How many next times do you get?”

“Greed of the fossil fuel industry” is “destroying our planet,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.). Young people agree. Their solution? Socialism.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) says socialism creates “an environment that provides for all people, not just the privileged few.”
“Nonsense,” says Tom Palmer of the Atlas Network in my new video.
Palmer, unlike Ocasio-Cortez and most of us, spent lots of time in socialist countries. He once smuggled books into the Soviet Union.
What he’s seen convinces him that environmental-movement socialists are wrong about what’s “green.”
