Cause nothing is bad like western imperialism.

The funniest is when they say "capitalism destroys the planet". It isn't wrong, but no capitslistic country has never managed something that bad...

Don’t forget Lake Karachay, or Chernobyl for that matter.

Yeah. Human greed and corruption destroys the planet. It infests capitalism just as it does communism or anarchism or whatever else.

Not to say that capitalism doesn't inflame and amplify some of its failings in specific ways that we urgently need to do something about or else be destroyed... but again, so does everything else as far as I can tell. Getting rid of capitalism won't do a damn thing to solve the actual problem, I don't think.
