I don't think that it's likely that a country's political structure would deliberately undermine itself for the sake of ecology, the terrorist methods used to destroy the infrastructure of modern technological society are all too real in their depiction. But in addition to this, the underlying message, that humanity is killing itself along with the rest of the planet and drastic corrective measures must be taken, is so persuasive that, by the book's end, you may, too, question things as Damian does. It's not likely to make you feel very positive about our future, but it will certainly make you consider all the alternatives.
