People are already moving around environmental issues. 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.
