  Some of these ideas are discussed at length in Routley and Routley (1980b) where alternative forms of economic and political organisation are first considered from an environmental perspective. Sylvan focuses his attention on what he takes to be an evident failure of the political arrangements proposed in the West. According to him, the great limitations to the freedom of human beings, the uneven distribution of wealth and, above all, the constant damages caused to the environment are all symptoms of a disease that must be treated. Sylvan argues for what he calls pluralist anarchism, (a form of socialist anarchism) abandoning any form of government, including the minimal one defended by Robert Nozick (2013).
