Broadly speaking, "people growing food" is causing these extinctions. Ending capitalism might reverse these changes to the ecosystems, insofar as people suffer mass starvation, are killed in revolutionary struggle / civil war, or are exterminated by a dystopian post-capitalist state; aside from this you should, broadly speaking, expect the inferior yields of collectivized agriculture to worsen the environmental degradation (by requiring more farmland), not improve it.

So I guess from an ecological standpoint it would be good to have a communist revolution every couple decades then quickly go back to capitalism so the people left can live nice lives.
- olefoo 7y agoYou do know that it's possible to grow food without introducing long-lived poisons into the environment; right? The rest of your contribution is a stunning display of illiteracy in political economics. For a counter example on collective agriculture read up on the Kibbutzim.
