Joseph G writes: " Carrol's argument is to sit on one's hands as our world goes to pieces. It's the same as if someone would say that the economic struggle is useless because exploitation can't be ended within the framework of global capitalism. His reasoning is that fighting the capitalists on any particular issue somehow means seeing the problem as "the opinions or desires of individual capitalists or individual capitalist politicians." Carrol's plan means capitulating to the capitalists on the environment, which would not only make the looming environmental catastrophe so much more likely and so much deeper, but would help give rise to capitulation on every front."

But the very possibility of struggle disappears in the fog of cheerful announcements of what 'should be done."
