1) there has been a basic problem in how marxists use "relative scarcity"
and "resources" as you do the above. It has implications of an
anthropocentric negativity marxists seem not to understand. Resources for
whom? Scarcity because .... what?

CB: Here's a point on which you might get some attention at the Sierra Club as to the
significance of materialism. We materialists don't agree with you that we are
anthropocentric, in any pejorative sense. We think we are correct and you are wrong
on this issue

2)looking for the root causes of the environmental AND the economic disaster
that DOES concern you must begin 10,000 years before the beginnings of
capitalism. Starting *only* with the industrial revolution or even feudalism
is misguided and counterproductive if you wish to survive on the planet
beyond 2100.
((((((((((
CB: Once again, here is a point at which materialism, historical materialism
,impinges. Actually, in this case, we agree with you. Our perspective on capitalism is
based on a theory , historical materialism, which understands it in relation to the
whole history of humanity, 52, 000 years, or even earlier. We also give special
attention to the rise of class exploitative society.
