What's That?Karl Marx wrote in Kapital v. 1 " labour is the father of material wealth, the earth is its mother." Many socialists have explored radical ecology, but until the latter 1980s there was not a truly sustained effort at creating a compelling ecological version of a socialist economic vision. Many of the early founders of the US Green Movement were also socialists and in 1991, Green Party activist Joel Kovel co-wrote "The Eco-Socialist Manifesto" and his own book, "The Enemy of Nature" which defined an Eco-Socialist Vision of a post-capitalist economic system. This episode of RRLove will talk about Eco-Socialism, which seems highly relevant in the midst of Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, as a self-identified socialist. 00:57:00charley63noecology,Socialism,capitalism,industrial revolution,natureChante and Charley will discuss Eco-Socialism as an alternative economic and ecological system.http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rrlove/2015/10/05/keeping-your-balance-in-the-heat-of-the-struggleCurrent Eventshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/rrlove/2015/10/05/keeping-your-balance-in-the-heat-of-the-struggle/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/rrlove/2015/10/05/keeping-your-balance-in-the-heat-of-the-struggleMon, 05 Oct 2015 01:30:00 GMTKeeping Your Balance In the Heat of the StruggleChante and Charley will relaunch our webcast tonight.
