After humanity is 80% wiped, they might. A popular workers revolution instilled with sensible anti-authority, a sense of solidarity and reflectations on the two branches of socialism (authoritarian and non-hierarchical) and driven by educated and moral workers is not very likely as far as i can see - but climate change and nuclear war is, on the other hand.

The really sad thing about this is that the survivors will be those that caused these issues to begin with: the rich and the rulers.

All this is just speculation. Perhaps we will all just live, grow old and die as suppressed workers in the same place and same system as we were born in. Which is worse?

If 80% of humanity is wiped out it will mostly be the working class who die

and if the workers are dead and a few rich live in bunkers, that helps how?

It might give the climate some time to recover.

There's many things that can piss me off: state, capital and what goes with them, drowning in ignorant sycophants, the list goes on - but nothing compares to seeing nature rotting away.

I agree that watching nature in strife causes me the most pain as well.

I always want to believe that if the energy and time was directed to re-greening and creating sustainable food forests that we could repair some of what we have done, and even create healthier forests with our influence. Studies are coming out that the Amazon forests are so successful from human interplanting and assistance. We would have to focus on that sort of connection and remind everyone we are creatures of nature. There is just a lot going on for most people and it's hard to remember the Earth is one big cell we are all living on.
