Moore said that the fall of communism brought a lot of anti-corporate extremism to the environmental movement. Here's his explanation:
" ..... suddenly, the international peace movement had a lot less to do. Pro-Soviet groups in the West were discredited. Many of their members moved into the environmental movement, bringing with them their eco-Marxism and pro-Sandinista sentiments.
