His solution was that for those disabled who survived they could be carried everywhere. Needless to say that disabled man remains firmly anthropocentric. Deep ecology seems to have two heads. Radical social transformation will come when we all submerge our egos into the great unity of nature. We should give up our demands for selfhood and the redistribution of wealth in the name of Mother Earth.

The other stream of deep ecology is more akin to the social Darwinism and neo-Malthusianism espoused by neoconservatives than any leftist position. Seems to me that one of the political positions that this suggests is Fascism. Not that I consider all deep ecologists, and in particular Mr. Orton, Nazis by any stretch of the imagination. But, it is also important to look at the problems with a political practice that would shift the focus of struggle away from the material conditions of people's lives to pursue some elusive oneness with nature. Struggles for social justice absolutely require that people think anthropocentrically.
