https://www.ladbible.com/news/greta-thunberg-says-its-time-overthrow-wests-capitalist-system-20221102 Greta Thunberg has lashed out at the West's obsession with capitalism in a scathing rant during a sit down chat in London to promote her new book. The 19-year-old Swedish activist called on everyone to help tear down the system that she believes is responsible for the climate crisis we find ourselves in today. Thunberg said the Western world is in need of a 'system-wide transformation'. The teenage activist said: "We are never going back to normal again because ‘normal’ was already a crisis. "What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet. "It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order." Thunberg added that if economic growth is the only priority of our global leaders, then 'what we are experiencing now should be exactly what we should be expecting'.
