8. In 1935, socialism morphed into environmentalism when millionaire Robert Marshall founded the Wilderness Society. He advocated nationalizing private forest lands so that citizens could escape modern life.
Nationalizing?
And retreating into less advanced times?
a. "As society becomes more and more mechanized, it will be more and more difficult for many people to stand the nervous strain, the high pressure, and the drabness of their lives. To escape these abominations, constantly growing numbers will seek the primitive for the finest features of life."

b. " Marshall had clearly defined himself as a socialist by 1932–1933. He told a correspondent: "I wish very sincerely that Socialism would be put into effect right away and the profit system eliminated." Bob Marshall wilderness activist - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
9. Marshall joined Norman Thomas' Socialist Party, and his fellow Wilderness-founder, Benton MacKaye, joined Eugene Deb's Socialists. Both were activists for social engineering.
So, while many are recruited in environmentalism by hand-wringing over the fate of, say, the Northern cod fish.....they don't realize that they are supporting the end of individual freedom and liberty, by growing government through nationalization.
After all, whether named socialism, or environmentalism....or communism....or, in fact, Liberalism.....they all march down the same path, simply at different speeds.
