So in the end, they is an internal contradiction in capitalism. It just append to be collapse due to lack of ressources and dumb management

TIL reverting the direction of Siberian rivers and turning Kazakh steppe into agricultural land were capitalist projects.

This one is a contradiction of highly hierarchical and degenerate systems.

With capitalism the contradiction is old and well known - power bends rules. Bent rules cause degeneracy. Degeneracy causes degradation and collapse.

Research and planning work on the project started in the 1930s and was carried out on a large scale in the 1960s through the early 1980s. The controversial project was abandoned in 1986, primarily for environmental reasons, without much actual construction work ever done.

If you mean the rivers part, then yes.

If you mean the steppe part, then no, they've caused a few ecological catastrophes first before stopping.
