The externalising of costs and internalisation of benefits (within Party operations, to specific high-power entities within the Party) can explain much of this.

The specific political dynamics of pollution and environmental degredation within Western countries (the UK, US, India, Western Europpe, etc.) is often quite similar. The politically powerful impose environmental costs on the disempowered, racial outsiders, minorities, immigrants, colonies, etc.

I see far more similarity in these systems than differences.

It wasn't the captains of industry and political power who embraced Leopold, Carson, Meadows, and Commoner. And a surprising amount of early environmentalism had a strong tinge of racism about it (c.f., Muir).

Power differenctial informs far more than any specific ideology does.
