Abstract
Contrary to some ecological critics, it is argued that it is not Marx's labour theory of value which should be blamed for environmental degradation and the ecological crisis, but rather the nature of capitalism itself insofar as it implies a continued appropriation of natural resources as a free gift of nature to capital. It is also argued that the necessarily limited environmental reforms under capitalism cannot ensure ecological sustainability. In historical perspective, it is argued that communism could offer the conditions for such an ecological sustainability, and create the preconditions for the supersession of the labour theory of value.
