The material realities of nature are real enough, but the idea of them having their own "interest" (really ours, projected onto it by us) is, regardless of how useful, nonetheless a fiction and an error. Collective action isn't really "real" either. Action is real, and aligned action is very effective, but the attribution of that action to some particular collectivity is usually an error, usually one intended to *constitute* the intersubjectivity it pretends to report on.
