Pretty sure he doesn't literally mean Stephens' opinions will. Point is it's not crazy to say climate inaction will kill many millions

Killing many millions isn't good, fyi. Not coincidentally that's also why Stalin was bad.

You need to read Marx and his competent commentators (say Sidney Hook or Hal Draper) rather than rely on long-discredited polemics.
