Sort of a famous counter-example.

A seventy year long break from capitalist economic practices over half of Europe and most of Asia seems like it should have produced a noticeably different set of ecological outcomes.

But industrialization appears to take the same ecological toll from Beijing to Belgrade.

when will that 70 year long break happen

It already happened, in the early 90s, when Yeltsin rode a tank up to the Moscow Parliament and started shelling it.

The USSR latest from 1922 to 1991, give or take a few years depending on how you want to count it.

Dengism, in China, kicked off in earnest at about the same time (Tianamen Square was largely a Maoist reaction to capitalist land reforms).
