(probably because I was "unsure" on some of the questions about harming the environment, since I personally think harming the environment is only bad when it will have bad consequences for humans at some point).
You can't build a socialist society on a foundation of inequality.

? My only point is that human life takes priority over environmental concerns, though fortunately there is usually no need to sacrifice the latter for the former.
Other species than humans have their own experiences that can’t be ignored, and thus any moral calculus must consider them fully (or as much as we can from our own perspective at least). To say human life takes priority, before you consider any given moral dilemma, is to decide that non-human life has no value outside what it can provide humans.
