Many people especially environmentalists tend to refer to environments untouched by humans as 'natural' and thus 'good'. Such an outlook is often as well applied to the remaining hunter-gatherers due to their more 'natural' lifestyles in relation with the rest of the environment. However such an outlook bases such naturalism (a civilizaed concept in itself) in the context of ones certain morality. Such beliefs can therefore lead others to believe much of the present alienated, technological life styles as 'unnatural' and therefore 'bad'. As such, such ideologies based off the authoritarianism of morals opens myrads of opinions of the pro/against nature dualism which is always isolated, focusing on a never ending debacle rather than analyzing the subject as it should be; viewing such a subject in terms of rule over the exploited.
Rather than focusing on such social constructs created by those in power (morality), humans in relation to the rest of their environment must be viewed and analyzed in terms of class. However, not in terms of the traditional narrow understanding of much of the anarchist left with their limited critique of capitalism, but in terms of any and all specialization created by capital which always creates authority and therefore a ruling class and as such a class of the exploited. Such an analysis differs from morality due to the fact morality is a reactionary form of social control to the benifit of the present rulers while an analysis of class is the actual social relationships between those in power from the specialization and alienation and those exploited by the ruling order. Capital requires extraction of surplus production, private property, and the state; which requires the objectification jand commodification of plants, animals and peoples to function; therefore requiring certain people (the ruling class) and theur institutions to rule over the majority of the rest of the people (the exploited class) and the envrionment to ensure the system continues. Thus capital needs the continual destruction of certain peoples environments (therefore dispossessing the certain peoples) so as to extract the environmental resources for surplus to continue its endless and overarching system of production for more and more profit to the benifit of a few. (ie. the destruction of rainforests and jungles therefore dispossessing band and tribal peoples from their conditions of existence. Or on different but related terms the gentrification of working class neighborhood dispossessing large numbers of people who cannot afford the higher rent) Therefore to be against domination in the present society is to be against the system which needs the domination of everything to fit them in accordance with its system- that of capital and the ruling class and therefore social relationships which reproduce it; including the domination of nature which is needed for surplus production and profit by capital and modern capitalism to function.
Therefore, those of us who desire a life without such domination must attack and destroy the system which produced and is producing social relationships that are causing the massive destruction of what is left of life on earth through an analysis of relationships which reproduce such domination, rather than attacking parts of the relationships of capital by and using and following under its other forms of control such as morality.
