the mistake is to interpret what he's saying as relevant to any society other than industrial societies
Marx and Marxists have pretty good analyses of how capitalism negatively impacts the environment, but, on this question, Marxism as such probably cannot offer any solution, and records of state socialist industrialization are no better than capitalist industrialization. We have to either accept the prices of industrialization, spread its costs and benefits more equitably, and try to prevent the biggest problems like climate change from becoming uncontrollable, or change our ways of life, or most likely both. The problem is that it's not likely to be a very popular proposal, whichever way. :-> -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
