IMO being more social is good.

Having a big country like the US acting anti-social, like it was in the past is very bad.

For example if you allow companies to polute more than in other countries, this drags down the global standard. As companies in better more environment aware societies will have a competitive disadvantage (it costs more money).

 

Except for the fact that capatalist democracies tend to have a much better environmental record than any other governmental system ...

 

Yeah, like capiyalist democracies with their factories' smokestacks pumping millions of cancer causing and o-zone destroying agents into the air are much better for the environment than hunter-gatherer societies.

 

The difference between your two examples is far greater than being a government difference ...

Edit: On top of that, I suspect that if you had 6 Billion people burning wood to keep warm you would have an unreal level of air polution ...
