What's your opinion of eco-socialism / green socialism?

My belief is that, while socialism can reduce the impact of tragedy of the commons on an individual level, it can and will still play out on a communal level. It's a bit naive to expect socialism to simply solve the problem of environmental protection on its own.

Just like the ALF

Y'all motherfuckers need Bookchin

I basically agree with the sentiments in this thread, as a sort of Marxist. No need to attach eco as a special label but I think workers will find it in their best interest to do an actual job of preserving ecosystems and sustainably utilizing natural resources.

The basic development I am excited for is basically the proletarianization of science, and ecologists having a decisive role in influencing the overall economic apparatus.

lol, I may personally but I don't expect every socialist, certainly not the ML's, though one can hope in time it will gain more traction as the cults of the commodity and the state die away

m8, environmentalism is important, yes. But believing in "Gaian philosophy" in order to qualify as a socialist is fucking retarded. Kill yourself my man

Just so you know Gaia isn't a philosophy, it is a scientific theory

And leads to supporting nuclear energy see einstein quote on the front page of this site

I'm ok with this

That bitch bred mind torture worms to set against her enemies, not my fucking comrade

But really, environmentalism should be an obvious part of socialism itself, we don't need to specify 'eco-feminist-lgbt anarchism'.

...

Friendly reminder that a significant chunk of contemporary ecological thought is misanthropic and reactionary at its core.
