Summary
Andreas Malm: Corona, climate, capitalism - War Communism in the 21st century
Until the beginning of April, the entire human race was under some kind of quarantine. Never before has the normal course of late capitalism been almost completely suspended.
The economic and social impact of the coronavirus pandemic is unprecedented. Faced with the pandemic, governments were forced to introduce drastic measures and subordinate their interests to collective survival. Why then could not a similar approach be used in the fight against the climate crisis?
Andreas Malm, a leading environmental thinker, in this alarming essay does not limit himself to just illustrating the differences between these two urgent situations (and capitalist society's reactions to them), but observes their deep connection and makes concrete proposals. Inspired by the metaphor of "wartime state", which governments have been abusing since the first months of 2020, the author reactualizes Lenin's model of "war communism" and mobilizes it in order to prevent the ecological catastrophe we are heading towards.
The crisis is very serious, and the solutions must be radical. There is no more excuse for inaction, any delay is fatal.
Andreas Malm: One of the most original thinkers in the field of political ecology. In his work, he deals with issues of the relationship between politics and climate change, their causes and possible solutions. Why have we become so dependent on fossil fuels? What role did fossil fuels play in the history of the development of capitalism? What are the forces that dominate our daily activities and how to overcome them?
