    Humans are not disconnected from the ecosystem. The wellbeing of animals is also the wellbeing of humans.

      I am not saying I disagree with you, I’m just saying that the origins of Marxism is in an age of Western philosophy where “nature” was very much regarded as separate and indeed subservient to humanity, and that the ‘traditional Marxist lens’ on climate change would be “this should be fixed because it will negatively affect the development of socialism”. I think that with the knowledge and advancements we’ve made since the 1800’s we obviously need a different philosophical approach to the situation.
