Keep digging and sooner or later you'll come around to accepting that your previous discoveries (like broad implementation of permaculture) can never be realized under capitalism; that capitalism is in fact the opposition to your vision.

Centralized state control has no obligation to the environment either.

I don't think they said it did? There are many more social systems out there than simply US-Style Capitalism and Soviet-style Communism. Something like Anarcho-primitivism is one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-primitivism

Out there where? In the real world, or in someone’s imagination?

It’s like someone saying “java projects get too messy when there are hundreds of developers on them , this new language I’ve invented will be much better, trust me”

I see the word “abolition” in the first sentence of that article.

Did you finish the sentence and get to "abandonment of large-scale organization"? The state isn't the one abolishing things in that system.

If you don’t want to use the phrase “the state,” that’s fine.

Whatever powerful entity that determines the laws has no obligation to the environment.

Huh? What are you talking about and who is it directed at?
