Under the hood this is nothing more than a cultural communism than ponders to radically moralist leftists that want to create a pseudo-utopia where everyone lives like in kibbutz or something. The kind of people that think that living like Navi from Avatar would be cool. This ideology gives them a false hope it's possible.
Needless to say, that this is retarded on many levels. Just like most communists, it overlooks people who care for themselves more than for the "community". Such an oversight would eventually lead towards it becoming no less totalitarian than Stalinism was.
Fundamentally this wandered too far away from the initial issues that led communists to power in the first place. Workers desire to own and control their workplaces directly and not be hostage to decisions of the managers and owners. Instead, it talks about ecology, making it ecological communism.
Moreover, ecologism is incompatible with communism simply because the industrial plants where these workers work are the biggest polluters out there. Destroying these plants is akin to destroying the foundation on which communism was build.
Saying something that workers struggle is about pollution shows lack of any understanding of what workers life is like or reality of industrial plant is like. That shows than Bookchin has no idea what he even talks about.
Workers do not want to work harder so that their boss can buy himself another yacht, they want this prosperity in their pockets, and they want to make rules on their plant. The very thought that they want plant to be shut because its polluting is ludicrous to begin with.
