Environmental destruction doesn’t have a single exclusive cause.

There is the horseshoe theory that says that either extremes have more in common with each other then they have with the center [1].

If I we’re to connect neoliberalism with Soviet communism, I’d say that both ideologies are examples of high modernism, which is the idea that leaders can optimize on a metric and ignore all other factors that contribute to their countries success. This never has positive outcomes for the people living in those countries.
