No, I'm not. None the less, allow me to copy/paste some genuine Communist quotes of ecowar relevance:
Labor is not the source of all wealth. Nature is just as
much the source of use values (and it is surely of such that
material wealth consists!) as labor, which itself is only
the manifestation of a force of nature, human labor power. [...]
And insofar as man from the beginning behaves toward nature, the
primary source of all instruments and subjects of labor, as an
owner, treats her as belonging to him, his labor becomes the
source of use values, therefore also of wealth. [...] precisely
from the fact that labor depends on nature it follows that
the man who possesses no other property than his labor power
must, in all conditions of society and culture, be the slave
of other men who have made themselves the owners of the
material conditions of labor. He can only work with their
permission, hence live only with their permission.
- Marx, Critique
of the Gotha Programme, 1875
Let us not, however, flatter ourselves overmuch on account of
our human victories over nature. For each such victory nature
takes its revenge on us. Each victory, it is true, in the first
place brings about the results we expected, but in the second
and third places it has quite different, unforeseen effects
which only too often cancel the first. The people who, in
Mesopotamia, Greece, Asia Minor and elsewhere, destroyed the
forests to obtain cultivable land, never dreamed that by
removing along with the forests the collecting centres and
reservoirs of moisture they were laying the basis for the
present forlorn state of those countries. When the Italians of
the Alps used up the pine forests on the southern slopes, so
carefully cherished on the northern slopes, they had no inkling
that by doing so they were cutting at the roots of the dairy
industry in their region; they had still less inkling that they
were thereby depriving their mountain springs of water for the
greater part of the year, and making it possible for them to
pour still more furious torrents on the plains during the rainy
seasons. Those who spread the potato in Europe were not aware
that with these farinaceous tubers they were at the same time
spreading scrofula. Thus at every step we are reminded that we
by no means rule over nature like a conqueror over a foreign
people, like someone standing outside nature – but that we,
with flesh, blood and brain, belong to nature, and exist
in its midst, and that all our mastery of it consists in the
fact that we have the advantage over all other creatures of
being able to learn its laws and apply them correctly.
- Engels, The
Part Played by Labour in the Transition from Ape to Man,
1876
Labour is the source of all wealth, the political economists
assert. And it really is the source — next to nature, which
supplies it with the material that it converts into wealth. But
it is even infinitely more than this. It is the prime basic
condition for all human existence, and this to such an extent
that, in a sense, we have to say that labour created man
himself.
- Engels, The
Part Played by Labour in the Transition from Ape to Man,
1876
Just as the savage must wrestle with Nature to satisfy his
wants, to maintain and reproduce life, so must civilised man,
and he must do so in all social formations and under all
possible modes of production. With his development this realm of
physical necessity expands as a result of his wants; but, at the
same time, the forces of production which satisfy these wants
also increase. Freedom in this field can only consist in
socialised man, the associated producers, rationally regulating
their interchange with Nature, bringing it under their common
control, instead of being ruled by it as by the blind forces of
Nature; and achieving this with the least expenditure of energy
and under conditions most favourable to, and worthy of, their
human nature.
- Marx, Capital,
Volume III, 1894
