Hmm, this is a very complex issue, but in a nutshell you're touching upon a hypothetical system, that I'm calling "green capitalism" as in merging of free market and ecological mindset.
But we have to be aware that these things rarely go together. For example, if you turn up in a cigar club full of oil executives trying to convince them about going green, they'll send you back to the woodwork, which is where the line is drawn.
On the other hand if you try to convince a solar energy provider, that sustainable living paves the way for the future of capitalism, it's gonna be a piece of cake.
And the only difference is how these people make money, cause both groups make money and they both believe in liberty to keep making money.
So can capitalism be green and sustainable? Absolutely, but you need to get people behind the idea that the bright future of business lies in keeping the house clean and in long term profit for everybody as opposed to quick buck and massive exploitation of natural environment.
And I'm also all for abolishing the government in the process, but it'll never happen. We can try to minimise it, limit it, trim it or whatever. We could try to push it that or the other way, but politics and power are here to stay and for a very simple reason, MOST OF THE PEOPLE PREFER SECURITY OVER FREEDOM and they would never be able to survive in an anarchistic non-state... which would be quickly torn apart with brutal power struggles anyway.
Just look at a perfectly decentralised system at hand... STEEMIT :D
Totally agree with you. Yes, what I propose is that the choice to have a "green" capitalism, in a hypothetical free market, depends on the consumers, and on their responsibility to the environment. And I think that modern society is not sufficiently aware about it, I doubt very much that people compromise their lifestyle to benefit the environment.
Yes, but people don't have any responsibility WHATSOEVER! That's the main problem! Most of the people are idiots unable to reflect on ANYTHING! And if they can't reflect fully on their lifestyle, then they can't reflect on the consequences of it either... I'm quite pessimistic about it to be honest, cause intelligence is rare and stupidity is 0.001 steem a piece and there's no way to change it.
Anyway there's a neat theory called social dominance theory, that explains how power struggles over hierarchy are waged and why we can't really drop it here and now! It should nicely fit into your ramblings I believe, so I'm leaving this link here
