There was an uprising in Cochambamba when water was privatized. American Indians and environmentalists are joining forces on a number of fronts. The problem is that many Marxists retain a kind of Julian Simon productivist notion that advances in the means of production--even under capitalism--can solve the environmental crisis. At this stage of the game, I would have to characterize this stance as counter-revolutionary.
