It would be taxed for the irreparable harm on the environment and required to compensate fully all damage to nature if it were not for lobbying, a demonic ritual at the center of capitalism. Almost no other nation allow open bribery and lawmaking to corporations in exchange for money. It’s counter productive and immoral
Again that is not really solving the problem by getting rid of capitalism, that’s solving the problem by empowering democracy. The market system would still be capitalism even if lobbying were banned and fines were proportional.
No, but the ultra wealthy having the wealthy necessary to bribe politicians, buy all our media, and push endless disinformation with zero accountability are all a direct result of capitalism.
Publically owner companies, like the USPS, are extremely transparent with how they spend money and they are held to far higher ethical standards than private companies are.
I don’t think plastic waste is specific to capitalism.

Being in a capitalist society, we don’t value a sustainable way of life.
Democracy has nothing to do with it. The lack of regulation is not a fault of democracy, as most citizens don’t want these businesses to be regulated.
If democracy has nothing to do with your ideal governance, then congratulations you’re a fascist/authoritarian.
Who said anything about ideal governance?

Yeah social democracy is good but it doesn’t make plastic waste disappear, neither would fascism, it’s nonsequitur.
Plastic is cheap. It would be as cheap for a communism as it is a capitalism.
Indeed, the 1st and 3rd worst offenders for plastic per capita are administrative regions of China (Macau and Hong Kong) https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/plastic-pollution-by-country
They’re also a capitalism, though, so yeah.
