The discussion about Marxism ecological thought and western Marxism ecological view enables us to fully understand the root of contemporary ecological problems and find solutions to these problems. In Marxism ecological thought’s view, the root of ecological problem is the production of surplus value production capitalism mercenary and global economic integration under the conditions of the production of the global expansion. In order to adapt to the unlimited expansion of surplus value, the human need to constantly create and develop the people’s consumption demand, making the abnormality consumption concept to guide the people ahead of consumption, excessive consumption. Moreover, with the high speed development of modern technology and productivity in contemporary society and accompanied by technical rationality,knowledge rationality, capitalist self-centered extreme self-interest value has been playing an increasingly important role in people’s production activities and their lives.The subjectivity of mankind’s recognition and transformation of the world and the environment has been growing. As a result, the “augmented egocentrism”-“anthropocentrism” has been bred. Human’s greed and possessive do whatever they want to satisfy its desire for the limitless self-development. With the development of technological advances and productivity, exploitation of resources has become predatory and destructive. Not only are the resources and energy available for human being drained away, the environment and ecology has been severely damaged, causing frequent occurrence of ecological crisis. Historical materialism and Marxism political economics provide us with the right method of thinking and cognitional path to understand contemporary ecological problems. The universal relation view of materialistic dialectics, the comprehensive social civilization outlook, and research on the relation between inter-generational equity and generational equity offer us the guiding thoughts for seeking the right path and specific methods of addressingecological problems. Historical experiences tell us that in order to address ecological problems, we must take universal relation view of materialistic dialectics as our guiding thought. And comprehensive, coordinate, and healthy sustainable social development outlook and scientific development outlook must be established; the relations between human and nature, people and people, human and society, current generation and later generation must be handled correctly. With socialist revolution, capitalist social system is replaced by socialist system, capitalist production mode is replaced by socialist production mode, and capitalist interpersonal social relation and the relationship between man and nature, the purpose and goal of which are to pursue maximum personal interest, are replaced by brand new socialist interpersonal social relation and the coordinate relationship between man and nature. Extreme individualism, egoism,and the self-centered capitalist value that is eager to seek quick success and instant benefits should be gotten rid of and replaced by socialist collectivism harmonious relationship with harmonious coexistence between man nature and solidarity among people. Scientific sustainable development outlook should be used to handle the relations between current development and future development, regional development and balanced development, section development and general development, and development of current generations and development of future generations. Thus people’s various relations can be scientifically and reasonably coordinated and correctly handled, promoting the coordinated progress of human ecological civilization and the whole social civilization development. The creativeness is that the concepts of space and time are analyzed respectively in accordance with regional development balance,different sector development balance, the balance between human satisfaction and natural ecology, the harmony balance among people, and the coordination and balance between inter-generational relation and generational relation. Proposals by socialist mode of production and social system to achieve a variety of human harmony and balance, in order to solve the ecological contradictions we encountered in the current andit sticks to the basic thought of Marxism historical materialism, reveals the tremendous advantage of socialist production mode and its social system over capitalism, and finds out the realistic approach to fundamentally addressingcontemporary ecological and environmental problems. In order to understand the history and status qua of environmental issue and comprehensive relatively and objectively its complete picture, the document research method is employed. On that basis, meanwhile, this article links theory with practice, thoroughly analyzing the historical materialism from the dimensions of time and space. Using the interdisciplinary research method, it stimulates new thinking and view for people to objectively and comprehensively understand and cope with ecological problems. It is significant for realistically addressing ecological problems.
