Resumen:
As the climate crisis worsens, the debate on how to confront it grows. While dominant classes propose a move towards Green capitalism, sociopoliticalorganizations have begun talking about a Green New Deal, or an EcoSocial Pactin the south. Green capitalism includes full commodification of nature andtechnological solutions to the mounting costs of environmental degradation. Onthe contrary, the Green New Deal push for greater State intervention in theconomy. These proposals presume that the problem is neoliberalism?sirrationality, but not capitalist social relations, emphasizing the need for Stateplanning, nationalization of key enterprises, redistribution of income, and greenertaxation.But How can the capitalist State make good of these promisses? Is the climatecrisis a consequence of neoliberalism, or a capitalist by-product? Can we tax-away this crises without further commodifying life and nature? How can wetransition to a greener world if we don?t do away with dependency and imperialistrule?We will discuss the strengths and limits of these proposals, while sketching howreal alternatives for socioecological transformation are actually leading thestruggles for (anti)postcapitalist social change. We will engage in a debate theincludes the actual socio political struggles in Latin America for a radicalsocioecological transition.
