"Don... you may think a FAIR balance can be struck between Capital and Labour.
But only a fool would assume that such a balance can be struck between Capital and the environment."

Ake, that is another of those "us and them" arguments, and as usual misses the point. It's a matter of priorities, surely. Capital can't save the environment without the willing co-operation of labour. They have to stop raping the earth of its finite resources, and labour has to ask for rather less in the way of consumables to make that possible, so they MUST be pulling in the same direction for it to work.

We all sink or swim on board of the same spaceship!

First the balance, then the combined effort.

If we can't achieve that I see little future for this planet.
