They are often described as " Red Greens" – adherents to Green politics with clear anti-capitalist views, often inspired by Marxism (Red Greens are in contrast to eco-capitalists and Green anarchists). Ideology Įco-socialists are critical of many past and existing forms of both green politics and socialism. : 163Įco-socialists advocate dismantling capitalism, focusing on common ownership of the means of production by freely associated producers, and restoring the commons.
: 97 : 173–87 Eco-socialists advocate for the succession of capitalism by eco-socialism-an egalitarian economic/political/social structure designed to harmonize human society with non-human ecology and to fulfill human needs-as the only sufficient solution to the present-day ecological crisis, and hence the only path towards sustainability. By this logic, market-based solutions to ecological crises (such as environmental economics and green economy) are rejected as technical tweaks that do not confront capitalism's structural failures. : 30 Thus, according to this analysis, giving economic priority to the fulfillment of human needs while staying within ecological limits, as sustainable development demands, is in conflict with the structural workings of capitalism. Įco-socialism asserts that the capitalist economic system is fundamentally incompatible with the ecological and social requirements of sustainability. Eco-socialists generally believe that the expansion of the capitalist system is the cause of social exclusion, poverty, war and environmental degradation through globalization and imperialism, under the supervision of repressive states and transnational structures. Eco-socialism (also known as green socialism or socialist ecology) is an ideology merging aspects of socialism with that of green politics, ecology and alter-globalization or anti-globalization.
