I've seen this piece pop up as some counter in forums or elsewhere online. Its very bizarre, at least in my opinion.

At one point in the piece it says communist led world will still pollute earth like capitalist excesses already do. Down further says how the evil soviets did holodomor genocide or evil ccp great leap genocide and its a ecological destruction.

I don't think most communists are unaware of climate catastrophe or urgency of tackling meat or fossil fuel industry. I don't think those things come about by some divine stroke of shift popular beliefs overnight cause individuals one at a time will influence masses with their choices.

Also the beginning section is odd to me. I don't know if communists or some nominal left leaning people say the ethical consumption line to write off and justify horrible state of the system.

As far as I understand the statement on no ethical consumption : its an indictment of this untenable system and how deeply entwined it is with all forms oppression in order to keep it going.

I don't know overall I think this article is unproductive.
