SUMMARY:Climate Justice and Socialist Strategy with Jason W. Moore
DESCRIPTION:King’s Triple Evils\, Modern Environmentalism\, and the ‘World Revolution’ of 1968\nA video of this November 6\, 2022\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel.\n\nOn April 4\, 1967\, Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, came out publicly against the Vietnam War in a speech entitled “Beyond Vietnam.” Beyond\, in that title\, meant everything. King not only broke with the liberal establishment\, which viewed the war as a separate issue from racism and as an aberration in American foreign policy. King simultaneously presented a radical critique that linked racism and exploitation at home and abroad and began to elaborate a vision of an American socialism animated by a searing indictment of capitalism’s “triple evils” (racism\, militarism\, and class exploitation). Such a socialism would be grounded in a triple alliance encompassing the antiwar\, civil rights\, and labor movements. In this talk\, Jason W. Moore addresses the missed opportunity for a program of planetary justice as the “Environmentalism of the Rich” came to the fore after 1968 and overshadowed King’s appeal for a radical turn. As King underscored in his final months\, justice cannot be effectively pursued piece by piece. The “whole society” with and within the web of life must be reinvented\, inasmuch as we are “all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality\, tied into a single garment of destiny.” At the end of the Capitalocene and the beginning of the planetary inferno\, climate justice – and socialist strategy – must proceed as if “all life were interrelated.”\nJason W. Moore\nJason W. Moore is an environmental historian and historical geographer at Binghamton University\, where he is Professor of Sociology. His books include Capitalism in the Web of Life (2015)\, Anthropocene or Capitalocene? (2016)\, and (with Raj Patel)\, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things (2017). Moore’s books and essays on environmental history\, capitalism\, and social theory – translated into over 20 languages – have been recognized with numerous academic awards. He co-coordinates the World-Ecology Research Network.

SUMMARY:Ecology\, Capital and History
DESCRIPTION:Convened by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight \nThe MEP’s Ecosocialism Study Group will devote the spring 2019 term to a close reading of Jason W. Moore’s Capitalism in the Web of Life: Ecology and the Accumulation of Capital and selected essays applying Moore’s world-ecology framework. Moore argues that the sources of today’s global turbulence have a common cause: capitalism as a way of organizing nature\, including human nature. \nFRED MURPHY and STEVE KNIGHT have co-led the Ecosocialism Study Group since 2016. Both are active in DSA’s climate justice work. Fred studied and taught historical sociology at The New School for Social Research. Steve reviews books for Marx & Philosophy and is active in faith-centered environmental groups.

Interaction between these domains is periodically readjusted in response to crises and upheavals. Such “boundary struggles” can help us better grasp capitalism’s contradictions and elaborate strategies for moving beyond it.

SUMMARY:Capitalism: Causes\, Conditions\, Consequences ... and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Capitalism: Causes\, Conditions\, Consequences … and Beyond\nThe Ecosocialism Group convened with Fred Murphy and Steve Knight \n8 Sessions \nThe Marxist Education Project’s Ecosocialism Study Group — now completing its third year — devotes the winter 2019 term to Nancy Fraser and Rahel Jaeggi’s Capitalism: A Conversation in Critical Theory. Join us for a close reading of this new work\, which shows how different historical regimes of capitalism have relied on institutional separations between economy and polity\, production and social reproduction\, and human and non-human nature. Interaction between these domains is periodically readjusted in response to crises and upheavals. Such “boundary struggles” can help us better grasp capitalism’s contradictions and elaborate strategies for moving beyond it. Supplementary readings will be drawn from related work by David Harvey\, Silvia Federici\, and others. \n  \nFRED MURPHY and STEVE KNIGHT have co-led the Ecosocialism Study Group since 2016. Both are active in DSA’s climate justice work. Fred studied and taught historical sociology at The New School for Social Research. Steve reviews books for Marx & Philosophy and is active in faith-centered environmental groups.

SUMMARY:Capital\, Energy and Power
DESCRIPTION:A 10-week Study Group with Fred Murphy and Steve Knight \nThroughout the history of capitalism\, energy sources and especially fossil fuels—coal\, oil and natural gas—have been critical to the system’s economic viability. The crises associated with climate change are rooted in capital’s insatiable need to burn fuels in order to accumulate wealth and maximize profits.  Competition and greed for readily extractable energy resources have fueled wars and evoked popular resistance\, especially in the Middle East. This study group will explore the history and political economy of oil\, energy and capitalism. We will read George Caffentzis’s recently published No Blood for Oil! and related work by Michael Klare\, Andreas Malm\, Timothy Mitchell\, and others. \nFRED MURPHY has co-led several MEP study groups on Marxism\, science\, nature\,  and ecosocialism. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research.  \nSTEVE KNIGHT has been a co-leader of MEP eco-socialist study groups since 2015.

SUMMARY:Small Is Necessary
DESCRIPTION:Shared Living on a Shared Planet\nwith author Anitra Nelson \nA presentation and discussion with activist-scholar Anitra Nelson\, whose new book Small is Necessary: Shared Living on a Shared Planet (Pluto Press) argues for ‘eco-collaborative housing’\, i.e. smaller homes with shared spaces and facilities. \nHouses and apartments in countries like the US\, Canada and Australia grew larger in the 20th century even as household sizes shrank. This has made housing less environmentally sustainable and it contributes to the housing affordability crisis. Since the US mortgage fiasco triggered the Global Financial Crisis many countries have experienced skyrocketing house prices. Meanwhile\, the withdrawal of state support for social and public housing means that private ownership or rental are the only options. \nSmall is Necessary advocates not only for smaller dwellings in compact settlements but for shared spaces and facilities. Anitra presents a range of practical options from co-living in a household to co-housing and eco-villages. She weighs the pros and cons of the tiny house movement and assesses the potential and limits of radical squats along the way. She considers the future of eco-collaborative housing managed by various different drivers—governments\, market developers\, and sharing economy initiatives\, and grassroots communities.  \nAnitra has had ten years’ experience living in two different Australian housing collectives\, but her new book is research-based\, especially drawing on ecological footprint studies. \nThe author will sign books at the end of the program. \nAnitra Nelson is an activist-scholar whose research interests focus on housing and community-based sustainability\, environmental justice and non-monetary futures. She is an Associate Professor at the Centre for Urban Research\, RMIT University (Melbourne\, Australia). She was a Carson Fellow at the Rachel Carson Centre for Environment and Society at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (2016–2017) and was a Visiting Scholar at the New School for Social Research (2012). She is a co-editor of Life Without Money: Building Fair and Sustainable Economies (2011) and Housing for Degrowth: Principles\, Models\, Challenges and Opportunities (forthcoming).

SUMMARY:A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things
DESCRIPTION:with Jason W. Moore \nNature\, money\, work\, care\, food\, energy\, and lives: these are the seven things that have made our world and will shape its future. In making these things cheap\, modern commerce has transformed\, governed\, and devastated Earth. Jason W. Moore presents a new book authored with Raj Patel\, A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things.  \nBringing the latest ecological research together with histories of colonialism\, indigenous struggles\, slave revolts\, and other rebellions and uprisings\, Moore and Patel demonstrate that throughout the history of capitalism\, crises have always prompted fresh efforts to restore the seven cheap things – regardless of the cost to working people and the environment. At a time of crisis in all seven cheap things\, they propose radical new ways of understanding—and reclaiming—the planet in the turbulent twenty-first century. \nJason W. Moore teaches world history and world-ecology at Binghamton University\, and is coordinator of the World-Ecology Research Network. He is the author of Capitalism in the Web of Life and numerous award-winning essays in environmental history\, political economy\, and social theory.

SUMMARY:Science\, Politics\, and Culture in the Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:Science\, Politics\, and Culture in the Anthropocene\nFred Murphy and Steve Knight\nA Reading Group\, September 25 through November 20\n9 sessions remain \n“Thinking the Anthropocene\,” say Christophe Bonneuil and Jean-Baptiste Fressoz\, authors of Shock of the Anthropocene\, “means taking the measure of industrialization and commodification\, which have derailed the Earth beyond the stable parameters of the Holocene\, and of the need to give our freedom different material foundations; it means mobilizing new environmental humanities and new political radicalisms (movements for common goods\, transition\, degrowth\, eco-socialism and many more) in order to escape the blind alleys of industrial modernity.” This study group will take up three recent works on the scientific\, political\, and cultural implications of global warming and the crisis of the Earth system: Birth of the Anthropocene\, by Jeremy Davies; Shock of the Anthropocene; and Richard Smith’s Green Capitalism: The God That Failed. \nFred Murphy has co-led several MEP study groups on Marxism\, science\, nature\, and ecosocialism. He studied and taught historical sociology at the New School for Social Research.\nSteve Knight has participated in and co-led MEP study groups on ecosocialism since 2015. His review of Shock of the Anthropocene is forthcoming in the journal Marx & Philosophy.

SUMMARY:No Blood for Oil!
DESCRIPTION:An author presentation with discussion\, co-sponsored with Autonomedia \nNo Blood For Oil!\nEssays on Energy\, Class Struggle and War 1998–2016\nGeorge Caffentzis \nThe oil industry is at the center of the major struggles of our time\, but is Marxist theory able to explain its behavior? The oil industry presents a paradox to Marxist theory.  How is it that oil companies employ relatively few workers and invest in a relatively large amount of machinery\, but still are the largest and most profitable companies on the planet? It should be otherwise\, if profits come from exploiting worker’s labor. In his book\, No Blood for Oil\, George Caffentzis shows how Marxism resolves this paradox and accounts for the peculiar role that the oil industry plays in contemporary capitalism as generator of ecological devastation\, war and exploitation. Come to discuss the struggle over the exchange of blood for oil. \nGeorge Caffentzis is emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Southern Maine. He has taught courses on oil and class struggle in many venues in Africa\, South America and Europe. He is a co-founder of the Midnight Notes Collective and is the author of In Letters of Blood and Fire: Work\, Machines\, and the Crisis of Capitalism (2013) and Exciting the Industry of Mankind: George Berkeley’s Philosophy of Money (2000).  \n“The papers in this collection are weapons we use to deconstruct the politics of war and oil\, to uncover the multilayered class meaning of contemporary energy policy\, and are the treasure that gives us a different sense of alternatives. Caffentzis’ critical understanding dissolves the fatalism of peak-oil arguments and posits our struggles to reclaim the commons as the real limit of capitalist use of energy.” — Massimo de Angelis\, author of The Beginning of History
