ABSTRACT
The author wrote extensively about environmental problems caused by capitalism in his own day, and Frederick Engels wrote even more about it. In books like The German Ideology, they wrote about agricultural and environmental disasters looming. But there are new environmental crises, especially climate change, that create existential catastrophic threats that capitalism cannot solve and also make a mockery of TINA. The new environmental crises definitively brand modern capitalism as a death regime that must be overthrown. The exploitation of the worker goes hand in hand with exploitation of the environment. Capitalists see nature, like the worker, as nothing but a resource to dominate and extract profit. Noncapitalist systems such as the Soviet and Chinese Communist models in the twentieth century were even more destructive to the environment than U. S. capitalism. Therefore only capitalism can create the innovative clean technology revolution that can stop global warming and clean up the environment.
