Communists are the worst polluters too. Terrible environmental policies, communists. Many birds, one stone.

basically what luka says yes, you would have an enormous advantage over other countries and their backwards technology.
Fusion development is a markedly international effort, so the spoils would be shared from the outset. At present, globalism has little to offer except sophisticated communication technology for the serfs, shit preachy politics, and immense riches for the already wealthy. If it also offered access to infinite, clean energy, people would be less suspicious and more open to their hegemonising.

It would just mean cheap electricity. China has that already. Coal is cheap as shit.

This is what it boils down to, I think.

In case you hadn't noticed, it's not 1950 any more. Communists are an extinct species.
It would just mean cheap electricity! Classic.

Point being, I don't think that by itself is a necessary and sufficient condition for taking over the world.

Hey @yyaldrin, are you a HAIR SHIRT ECO-ELITE?

Tim Finney came up with an intriguing comment on an ILM thread, describing a certain contingent at Dissensus in the following terms (the comment coming out of a discussion of MIA aka Mud Hut Lady and the debates here about popism): "When one of them finally and openly says "I love this piece...

It's a short-hand for the sort of demonstrative self-hatred that's actually a vehicle for moral superiority and narcissism.

I would, but I've already clicked away from it and I've now used up my month's supply of free articles.
The basic gist is that when fusion power comes online (and he thinks it's a question of when, not if), it will solve all our energy problems forever, and that greens hate this because they're weirdos who hate technology and want us all to go back to living in the middle ages.
He does have half a point, in that there are elements in hardcore eco activist circles who are strongly technophobic and disapprove of any solution to climate change other than radical degrowth. (What's more common, I think, is people who are strongly in favour of some technological solutions - solar and wind energy, very often - and strongly opposed to others, mainly conventional nuclear energy, while ignoring that no technological solution is perfect, and all manufacturing has some unavoidable ecological footprint.)
But he also thinks, or wants us to think that he thinks, that climate change is something that might happen decades in the future, rather than something that's been going on for over a century already.
