Did you mean, “As long as the latter are dominant,” or are you suggesting that environmentalists* are dominant?
What I think you intend to say is “capitalists will be problematic for environmentalists as long as there are more capitalists than environmentalists,” but that’s not what you said.
* I’m using “environmentalist” to mean “people that care about the environment,” even if there’s another meaning or connotation to the word.
