The whole thing, because of this phrase reeks of the sort of vicious
nonsense one finds in "deep ecology." Perhaps the phrase is merely
careless. I hope so.

"Harmony", most likely means "sustainable". That's what it means in the IWW Preamble phrase, "live in harmony with the Earth". It's kind of like your body can't be sustained, if you never get any sleep or a viable envirnonment can't be sustained, if your rulers treat it like it's a used commodity dump or the oceans like a never-ending supply of fish. 

Whether 'harmony' takes on an ethical connotation as well, is up to the individual, IMO.
