It’s possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way (K.Marx, Letter to F.Engels on the Indian Mutiny)

Capitalist Environmentalism
The fetish of the market and private ownership that the liberaltarians in the U.S. cite as their solution to the environmental crisis takes a new twist. Environmental terrorism for profit.
Mr. Reumayr, 55, is accused of plotting to blow up the Trans-Alaska Pipeline in a scheme designed to drive up the value of energy futures. His alleged plan was to buy oil, gas and electricity futures that would likely rise in value when oil supplies were disrupted, and then to stage a series of attacks on the pipeline in Alaska and on another pipeline in Canada.
