Workers who ignore personal responsibility towards the environment currently, won't suddenly all start caring as soon as a successful workers revolution takes place. And the workers are unlikely to vote to cutback devastating industrial practices if their lifestyle is now even more closely tied to the success of their industry. Furthermore, the workers who are used to being nihilistic consumers, can now live more lavish and destructive lifestyles, promoting further industry.
I'm a commie, and I'm not anti industry either, but it is incredibly important that we cultivate a sense of responsibility to the planet, not just our comrades. We can't simply rely on the dream of luxury space communism to save us, if we do we are no better than the technocrats who have a policy of break now and fix later.
