Marx's ruthless anthropocentrism lifted every traditional moral and religious constraint (such as the notion of “stewardship”) upon our treatment of the natural world. For Marx, just as for his hypostatized “capitalism,” nature is at best a passive material resource….1 From the Times Literary Supplement The view of nature attained under the dominion of private property and money is a real contempt for and practical debasement of nature….It is in this sense that Thomas Munzer declares it intolerable “that all creatures have been turned into property, the fishes in the water, the birds in the air, the plants on the earth; the creatures, too, must become free.”2 Karl Marx, age 25
