=== Philosophy === The radical environmental movement aspires to what scholar Christopher Manes calls "a new kind of environmental activism: iconoclastic, uncompromising, discontented with traditional conservation policy, at times illegal". Radical environmentalism presupposes a need to reconsider [[Western philosophy|Western]] ideas of religion and philosophy, including [[capitalism]], [[patriarchy]],<ref name = ern/>{{page needed|date=July 2022}} and [[globalization]],<ref name=":0" /> sometimes through "resacralising" and reconnecting with nature.<ref name=ern>Manes, Christopher (1990). ''Green Rage: Radical Environmentalism and the Unmaking of Civilization'', Boston: Little, Brown and Co.</ref>{{page needed|date=July 2022}} The movement is typified by [[leaderless resistance]] organizations such as [[Earth First!]], which subscribe to the idea of taking [[direct action]] in defense of [[Mother Nature]] including [[civil disobedience]], [[ecotage]] and [[monkeywrenching]].<ref name=ern/>{{page needed|date=July 2022}} Movements such as the [[Earth Liberation Front]] (ELF) and [[Earth Liberation Army]] (ELA) also take this form of action, although focusing on economic [[sabotage]], rather than civil disobedience.<ref>[http://www.carkeys.co.uk/features/everything_else/914.asp SUV Armageddon Approaching?] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071103104619/http://www.carkeys.co.uk/features/everything_else/914.asp |date=3 November 2007 }}, ''Car Keys'', 29 August 2003.</ref> Radical environmentalists can include [[earth liberation]]ists, as well as [[anarcho-primitivists]], [[animal liberationists]], [[bioregionalists]], [[deep ecologists]], [[eco-nationalism]], [[ecopsychologists]], [[green anarchists]], and less often [[anti-globalization]] and [[anti-capitalist]] protesters, [[ecofeminists]], [[neo-Pagan]]s, [[Third Position]]ists, and [[Wicca]]ns.<ref name=ern/>{{page needed|date=July 2022}}<ref>{{cite journal|last=Matković|first=Aleksandar|year=2020|url=https://www.ips.ac.rs/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/SPM-70-9.pdf|title=The Relation Between Political Ideologyand Radical Environmentalism|journal=Serbian Political Thought|publisher=Institute for Political Studies|volume=70|issue=4|pages=171–187|doi=10.22182/spm.7042020.9<!--|udc=504:321.01-->|s2cid=234069333 |access-date=19 July 2022|quote=However, actions of those movements mostly stay in the domain of classical environmentalism, without going into its more radical form. However, there are statements in literature that among radical environmentalists can be seen the whole spectrum of those who could not be described as admirers of political left-wing among others: Neopagans, Wiccans, anti-globalization protesters, Third Positionists, bioregionalists etc. (Manes 1990).}}</ref> This does not mean that everyone subscribing to those beliefs and values should be considered a radical environmentalist.<ref name=":1" />
