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:What Should Socialism Mean in the 21st Century?
DESCRIPTION:A talk and discussion with Nancy Fraser\nIn the 2020 Socialist Register “a number of the essays interrogate central dimensions of how we live and how we might live in terms of educating our children\, housing and urbanism\, accommodation of refugees and the displaced\, and (to lean on that all too common phrase) the competitive time pressures for ‘work-life balance’. These are all key questions\, of course\, of ‘social reproduction\,’ a theme that has cut across many volumes of the Register. They are the counterpoint to ‘economic reproduction’ and ‘how we work’ at the heart of several essays here. Today\, this involves exploring and exposing all the hype and contradictions of the so-called ‘gig economy\,’ where automation’s potential for increased time apart from work is subordinated to surveillance\, hazardous waste\, speed-up\, and much else that makes for contingent work and precarious living. Finding new ways of living cannot but confront both these obstacles.” \nDrawing on an expanded conception of capitalism\, Nancy Fraser constructs an expanded conception of socialism that overcomes the narrow economism of received understandings. Disclosing the capitalist economy’s contradictory and destructive relation to its “non-economic” background conditions\, Fraser contends that socialism must do more than transform the economy. Over and above that desideratum\, it must also transform the economy’s relation to its background conditions\, especially non-human nature\, the unwaged work of social reproduction\, and political power. In a nutshell\, a socialism for the 21st century must be ecological\, feminist\, anti-racist\, and democratic. \nNancy Fraser is the co-author with Cinzia Arruzza and Titihi Bhattacharya of Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto (Verso\, 2019) and with Rahel Jaeggi of Capitalism: A Conversation in Critical Theory (Polity\, 2018). Previous books include Fortunes of Feminism: From State-Managed Capitalism to Neoliberal Crisis (Verso\, 2013)\, Redistribution or Recognition: A Critical-Philosophical Exchange with Axel Honneth (Verso\, 2003)\, and Unruly Practices: Power\, Discourse and Gender in Contemporary Social Theory (University of Minnesota Press\, 1989)\, among other books. \nAll tickets are sliding scale. No one is denied admission for inability to pay. Please write info@marxedproject.org for the zoom code if you would like to attend.

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:Red/Green Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The Politics and Technology of Ecosocialism\nwith author Victor Wallis \nRed-Green Revolution is an impassioned and informed confrontation with the planetary emergency brought about by accelerated ecological devastation in the last half-century. Victor Wallis argues that sound ecological policy requires a socialist framework\, based on democratic participation and drawing on the historical lessons of earlier efforts.  \nIn the age of Trump and with a lack of sound U.S. ecological policies\, Wallis’s book could not come at a better time. Red-Green Revolution confronts the emergency produced by the accelerated devastation of the last half-century. The human species is in a race against time to salvage and restore what it can of the environmental conditions that make a healthy existence possible. This task requires us to reconsider not only the type of energy that we use\, but also the institutions\, the technology\, and the social relationships that determine what is produced\, in what quantities\, by what methods\, and to what ends. \nAt the heart of Wallis’s call to action is the ever-vital debate of capitalism vs. socialism and their relationships to protecting ecological order. Arguing that proper ecological policy requires a socialist framework\, based on democratic participation and drawing on the historical lessons of earlier efforts\, Wallis writes about how the task of establishing such a framework may evolve through the convergence of popular struggles – against all forms of oppression – as these have emerged under conditions of crisis. \nVictor Wallis is a professor of Liberal Arts at the Berklee College of Music. For twenty years he was the managing editor of Socialism and Democracy and has been writing on ecological issues since the early 1990s. His writings have appeared in journals such as Monthly Review and New Political Science\, and have been translated into thirteen languages.

SUMMARY:Climate Crisis\, Climate Justice\, Climate Fiction
DESCRIPTION:A 10-week reading and discussion group\nwith Fred Murphy and Steve Knight \nThis study group will examine the dire situations ordinary people confront as climate change and related crises accelerate\, and the struggles for climate and environmental justice that are arising to meet these challenges. We will look at such cases as Puerto Rico (Irma-Maria)\, New York (Sandy)\, and the Mideast (drought\, wars\, refugees)\, through lenses provided by Ashley Dawson\, Christian Parenti\, and others.

SUMMARY:Climate Crisis\, Climate Justice\, Climate Fiction
DESCRIPTION:A 10-week reading and discussion group\nwith Fred Murphy and Steve Knight \nThis study group will examine the dire situations ordinary people confront as climate change and related crises accelerate\, and the struggles for climate and environmental justice that are arising to meet these challenges. We will look at such cases as Puerto Rico (Irma-Maria)\, New York (Sandy)\, and the Mideast (drought\, wars\, refugees)\, through lenses provided by Ashley Dawson\, Christian Parenti\, and others. The latter weeks of the group will take up the new genre of “climate fiction\,” reading Kim Stanley Robinson’s New York 2140 and Amitav Ghosh’s The Great Derangement. \nFRED MURPHY has co-led several MEP study groups on Marxism\, science\, nature\, and ecosocialism.

SUMMARY:Marxism\, Science and The Anthropocene
DESCRIPTION:A Study Group convened by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight\nSeptember 21 – November 23 \nThis ongoing study group considers how Marxists and other critical thinkers address the nexus of capitalism\, science\, threats to human existence on planet Earth\, and the fight for climate justice and ecosocialism. For the Fall 2016 session we will take up works by Andreas Malm (Fossil Capital)\, Jason Moore et al. (Anthropocene or Capitalocene?)\, and Ian Angus (Facing the Anthropocene). \nSteve Knight is involved in eco-advocacy as a member of 350NYC\, a GreenFaith Fellow working with faith communities\, and a certified energy efficiency auditor for multifamily buildings. He has been interested in Marxian analysis and ecosocialism since 2004\, when he studied Capital with David Harvey. \nFred Murphy studied and taught historical sociology at The New School and has co-led several MEP courses. His adolescent dream of a career as a research chemist was diverted by the sixties radicalization\, but he has never lost interest in the sciences

SUMMARY:Day 3\, Session 3: Prometheus in Ruins? Uses and Abuses of the Hero Who Stole Fire
DESCRIPTION:A presentation and discussion with Anthony Galluzzo\nMechanical Prometheanism was for long the signature myth of Western modernization. Both capitalists and socialists embraced the Greek myth of Prometheus’s theft of fire from the gods as shorthand for Progress — technological determinism and human domination of the natural world — while neglecting the ethico-political dimensions of the myth. Prometheanism achieved its apotheosis during the twentieth century\, when futurism and productivism shaped capitalism and state socialism alike. Today the taste for such techno-scientific drive to mastery has waned\, at least among many Marxists and ecosocialists coming to grips with the environmental costs of industrial modernization. But as planetary civilization and the planet itself confront ecological collapse\, techno-utopianism is making a come-back\, from the cyber-libertarian solutionists of Silicon Valley to the ostensibly left accelerationists who seek to revive Prometheus — without ever asking which Prometheus they want to revive. This talk will trace the history of Promethean ideology\, beginning with the Godwin/Malthus debates of the 1790s\, through its current revival within certain precincts of the left\, particularly as it intersects with the ecological crisis and Anthropocene theory today. We will contrast this to alternative Prometheanisms\, from the Shelleys through Marx to present-day ecosocialist currents. \nAnthony Galluzzo is a lecturer at NYU. He studies radical transatlantic literary culture of the 1790s and its afterlives in socialism\, utopian fiction\, and the gothic novel. He has contributed several articles to Jacobin and other journals. His home base is in Brooklyn\, where he grew up.
