Socialist Night School: EcoSocialism or
Extinction
October 26th, 6:30PM
In Volume I of Capital, Karl Marx writes: "Capitalistic
agriculture is a progress in the art, not only of robbing the
labourer, but of robbing the soil." Capitalism's exploitation of the
Earth's resources has only increased as time has gone on to the point
where the planet's future is now potentially at stake. What is the
socialist perspective on the environment and what steps can be taken
to ensure a sustainable, equitable future? The October 26 Socialist
Night School "Ecosocialism or Extinction" will explore this topic,
along with the DSA's position on the Green New Deal.
Assigned readings and
resources:
1. What
do we mean by the Metabolic Rift? by Greg Peakin,
RS21
2. Global
International Geosphere-Biosphere Program Statement on the Great
Acceleration
3. DSA’s
Guiding Principles for a Green New
Deal
4.

Bolivia
