[Marxism] Socialism and the Environment

["Anthony Boynton" <anthony.boynton@xxxxxxxxx>]

"From the standpoint of a higher economic form of society, private ownership
of the globe by single individuals will appear quite as absurd as private
ownership of one man by another. Even a whole society, a nation, or even all
simultaneously existing societies taken together, are not the owners of the
globe. They are only its possessors, its usufructuaries, and, like *boni
patres familias, *they must hand it down to succeeding generations in an
improved condition."

A nice quote from Marx, in my opinion.

Capital Vol. III Part VI - Transformation of Surplus-Profit into Ground-Rent
- Chapter 46. Building Site Rent. Rent in Mining. Price of Land
