People largely partake as coping mechanisms or to fit in with groups etc. which would be in their immediate perceived interest of coping, fitting in etc.
They still know it is against their best interests.
Addressing global warming would impact the bottom lines of the capitalist class and thus be against their interest as a class of constant accumulation and expansion to among other things fight the falling rate of profit.
See previous answer.
Having nuclear weapons is directly in the self interest of states that wish to remain sovereign and not be destroyed by the western US lead empire as has been proved repeatedly.
It is against the best interest of humanity as a whole and we all know it.
Not a thing. Class is predicated on relation to the means of production mainly the ability/lack there of to privately own productive property and appropriate surplus value as capital.
It’s a thing in reality. It’s not a thing in Marxism which is another fault of the philosophy. The political class controls the capital that ostensibly belongs to the people. On reality they often wield the power of that capital for their own ends. This is true regardless of the economic system.
If the USSRs collapse was due to an inherent issue with Marxism why hasn’t the PRC collapsed?
Because the PRC Isn’t Marxist. It is a totalitarian dictatorship run for the benefit of the ruling class where the people are little more than serfs toiling for their local lords. The whole “communism” thing is an opiate similar to religion which encourages people to make personal sacrifices and not rise up.
If you just say this without elaborating on the how and in what way it’s meaningless.
One of the central points of Marxism is that socialism is a transitional phase that leads to communism. This has never happened.

What is it with you whiteys calling me and my family serfs and your complete lack of understanding of my country. I wish I could understand how you could be so racist and dimwitted while speaking so confidently it’s truly impressive.

Wow the transition has yet to complete so thus isn’t real. Genuinely impressively dense.
You really are just coping hard and further proving you have no understanding of Marxism how people view their interests as a class or really anything outside your white liberal bubble.
It is an objective fact that Chinese citizens have no right to free speech. Nothing I have said is racist. The fact that you have to resort to personal attacks just shows you know I am right.

Yeah I guess my visits to the local offices with complaints and criticisms just never happened, I guess the 12345 hotline just doesn’t exist please tell me more white saviour educate me on my country.
Nothing I have said is racist.
Nothing racist at all about you spreading orientalist nonsense calling Chinese people serfs and generally being a white saviour pig /s
The fact that you have to resort to personal attacks just shows you know I am right.
I’m not “resorting to personal attacks” I just see no need in being polite to chauvinist white saviour pigs who are comfortable with talking down on entire races and ethnicities with unmatched arrogance to accompany their less than 0 understanding.

Because my country allows free speech and I can speak the truth, unlike you.
Just showing how completely uninformed and racist you are. Politely go fuck yourself pig.
