Marxism and Ecology in a time of pandemic: John Bellamy Foster, Amy Leather & Martin Empson |
![]() |
๐ฅWeโre live! Join John Bellamy Foster, Amy Leather & Martin Empson to discuss Marxism and ecology in a time of pandemic.
The global environmental crisis has demonstrated how the system's drive to accumulate means that capitalism puts profit before people and planet. The work of Marx and Engels in understanding the relationship between capitalism and nature has resurfaced in recent decades as an outstanding critique of the system's destructiveness. The coronavirus pandemic originates in the same system that is driving climate change and the biodiversity crisis. Fossil fuel capitalism, industrial agriculture, deforestation is driving environmental destruction and creating the conditions for new and deadly diseases. Join authors and activists John Bellamy Foster, Amy Leather and Martin Empson to discuss how Marxism and Ecology can explain the crises we face and offer an alternative. ๐๐ผ Join socialists in your organising to put people before profit: https://www.swp.org.uk/forms/join-swp ๐๐ผJoin a Zoom meeting in your area: socialistworker.co.uk/events ๐๐ผDonate to help us keep broadcasting: socialistworker.co.uk/donate |
