    I want to defend tragedy of the commons. The point is that if you have a resource that is depleted by use but that gives advantage to the individual user, then people are incentivised to use it.

    However, the point we should take from it is the exact opposite of ‘communism bad’ – it’s that we need governance and regulation to prevent overuse of finite resources.
