"The Capitalinian: the First Geological Age of the Anthropocene" by John Bellamy Foster and Brett Clark, posted above on this Moodle page.   Identify and restate, in your own words, their main argument.  What do they mean with the "Capitalinian?"  How is it related to capitalism, and how does the core logic of capitalism cause and perpetuate anthropogenic climate change?  What criteria would a post-capitalist society (the Communion) have to meet in order to escape and reverse the ecological damage caused by capitalism?  Be as specific as possible, based on the article.
