Eco-socialism Eco-socialists believe that state or self-regulation of markets does not solve the crisis "because to do so requires setting limits upon accumulation", which is "unacceptable" for a growth-orientated system; they believe that terrorism and revolutionary impulses cannot be tackled properly "because to do s... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism For example, Scottish Green Peter McColl argues that elected governments should abolish poverty through a citizens income scheme, regulate against social and environmental malpractice and encourage environmental good practice through state procurement. At the same time, economic and political power should... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Eco-socialists are highly critical of those Greens who favour "working within the system". While eco-socialists like Kovel recognise the ability of within-system approaches to raise awareness, and believe that "the struggle for an ecologically rational world must include a struggle for the state", he beli... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Technological fixes to ecological problems are also rejected by eco-socialists. Saral Sarkar has updated the thesis of 1970s 'limits to growth' to exemplify the limits of new capitalist technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, which require large amounts of energy to split molecules to obtain hydrogen. F... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism He is quick to warn "environmental liberals" against over-selling the virtues of renewable energies that cannot meet the mass energy consumption of the era; although he would still support renewable energy projects, he believes it is more important to restructure societies to reduce energy use before rely... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Kovel also criticises their "fairy-tale" view of history, which refers to the abuse of "natural capital" by the materialism of the Scientific Revolution, an assumption that, in Kovel's eyes, seems to suggest that "nature had toiled to put the gift of capital into human hands", rather than capitalism being... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism While he feels that small-scale production units are "an essential part of the path towards an ecological society", he sees them not as "an end in itself"; in his view, small enterprises can be either capitalist or socialist in their configuration and therefore must be "consistently anti-capitalist", thro... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Kovel is particularly scathing about deep ecology and its "fatuous pronouncement" that Green politics is "neither left nor right, but ahead", which for him ignores the notion that "that which does not confront the system comes its instrument". Even more scathingly, Kovel suggests that in "its effort to de... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Indeed, he finds traces of deep ecology in the "biological reduction" of Nazism, an ideology many "organicist thinkers" have found appealing, including Herbert Gruhl, a founder of the German Green Party (who subsequently left when it became more left-wing) and originator of the phrase "neither left nor ri... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Kovel also attacks the problems of self-sufficiency. Where Sale believes in self-sufficient regions "each developing the energy of its peculiar ecology", such as "wood in the northwest [USA]", Kovel asks "how on earth" these can be made sufficient for regional needs, and notes the environmental damage of ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Kovel believes this is because social ecologists see hierarchy "in-itself" as the cause of ecological destruction, whereas eco-socialists focus on the gender and class domination embodied in capitalism and recognise that forms of authority that are not "an expropriation of human power for … self-aggrandiz... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism This divergence stems from the difference between Marxist and Malthusian examinations of social injustice – whereas Marx blames inequality on class injustice, Malthus argued that the working-class remained poor because of their greater fertility and birth rates. Neo-Malthusians have slightly modified this... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Eco-socialists choose to use the term "socialist", despite "the failings of its twentieth century interpretations", because it "still stands for the supersession of capital" and thus "the name, and the reality" must "become adequate for this time". Eco-socialists have nonetheless often diverged with other... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism In analysing the Russian Revolution, Kovel feels that "conspiratorial" revolutionary movements "cut off from the development of society" will "find society an inert mass requiring leadership from above". From this, he notes that the anti-democratic Tsarist heritage meant that the Bolsheviks, who were aide... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Kovel believes that, in Stalin's "revolution from above" and mass terror in response to the early 1930s economic crisis, Trotsky's writings "were given official imprimatur", despite the fact that Trotsky himself was eventually purged, as Stalinism attacked "the very notion of ecology... in addition to eco... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Kovel further adds that the socialist movement was historically conditioned by its origins in the era of industrialization so that, when modern socialists like McNally advocate a socialism that "cannot be at the expense of the range of human satisfaction", they fail "to recognize that these satisfactions ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Similarly, Kovel focuses on working-class involvement in the formation of eco-socialist parties or their increased involvement in existing Green Parties; however, he believes that, unlike many other forms of socialist analysis, "there is no privileged agent" or revolutionary class, and that there is poten... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism For Kovel, the main prefigurative steps "are that people ruthlessly criticize the capitalist system... and that they include in this a consistent attack on the widespread belief that there can be no alternative to it", which will then "delegitimate the system and release people into struggle". Kovel justi... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Arran Gare, Wall and Kovel have advocated economic localisation in the same vein as many in the Green movement, although they stress that it must be a prefigurative step rather than an end in itself. Kovel also advises political parties attempting to "democratize the state" that there should be "dialogue ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism He states that these present forms of "amphibious politics", which are "half in the dirty water of the present but seeking to move on to a new, unexplored territory". Wall suggests that open source software, for example, opens up "a new form of commons regime in cyberspace", which he praises as production... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Instead, Kovel advocates a form of political party "grounded in communities of resistance", where delegates from these communities form the core of the party's activists, and these delegates and the "open and transparent" assembly they form are subject to recall and regular rotation of members. He holds u... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism This would then be followed by a transformation of socioeconomic conditions towards ecological production, commons land and notions of usufruct (that seek to improve the common property possessed by society) to end private property. Eco-socialists assert that this must be carried out with adherence to non... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism From there, he asserts that "productive communities" will "form the political as well as economic unit of society" and "organize others" to make a transition to eco-socialist production. He adds that people will be allowed to be members of any community they choose with "associate membership" of others, s... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Internationally, he believes in the immediate cessation of speculation in currencies ("breaking down the function of money as commodity, and redirecting funds on use-values"), the cancellation of the debt of the Global South ("breaking the back of the value function" of money) and the redirecting the "vas... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism He thinks that this will provide a "standard of transformation" for non-ecological industries, like the automobile industry, thus spurring changes towards ecological production. Eco-socialists pursue "ecological production" that, according to Kovel, goes beyond the socialist vision of the emancipation of ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism In the course on an Eco-socialist revolution, writers like Kovel advocate a "rapid conversion to ecosocialist production" for all enterprises, followed by "restoring ecosystemic integrity to the workplace" through steps like workers ownership. He then believes that the new enterprises can build "socially ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Eco-socialists are quick to assert that their focus on "production" does not mean that there will be an increase in production and labor under Eco-socialism. Kovel thinks that the emancipation of labor and the realization of use-value will allow "the spheres of work and culture to be reintegrated". He cit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism As a legal term, usufruct refers to the legal right to use and derive profit or benefit from property that belongs to another person, as long as the property is not damaged. According to eco-socialists like Kovel, a modern interpretation of the idea is "where one uses, enjoys – and through that, improves ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism However, Kovel sees property as "self-contradictory" because individuals emerge "in a tissue of social relations" and "nested circles", with the self at the centre and extended circles where "issues of sharing arise from early childhood on". He believes that "the full self is enhanced more by giving than ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Kovel believes that revolutionary movements must prepare for post-revolutionary violence from counter-revolutionary sources by "prior development of the democratic sphere" within the movement, because "to the degree that people are capable of self-government, so will they turn away from violence and retri... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism Other socialists, like Paul Hampton of the Alliance for Workers' Liberty (a British third camp socialist party), see eco-socialism as "classless ecology", wherein eco-socialists have "given up on the working class" as the privileged agent of struggle by "borrowing bits from Marx but missing the locus of M... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |
Eco-socialism He nevertheless wrongly claims that eco-socialists endorse "the Malthusian view of the relationship between man and nature", and states that Al Gore, a former Democratic Party Vice President of the United States and now a climate change campaigner, is an eco-socialist, despite the fact that Gore has never... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39699737 |

Poe v. Seaborn It was undisputed that the entirety of the Seaborns' income, which amounted to more than $38,000, constituted community property.

The C... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39793838 |
Poe v. Seaborn In doing so, the Court rejected the Collector's argument that the husband is "essentially" the owner of the community property since he has "broad powers of control and alienation" over the community income, and thus should be taxed accordingly.

Exploitation of labour These theories ultimately demonstrate Marx's main issue with capitalism: it was not that capitalism was not an institution where the labour exchange is coercive, but that in this institution one class still becomes significantly more rich while the other becomes impoverished.

Exploitation of labour The majority of neoclassical economists only would view exploitation existing as an abstract deduction of the classic school and of Ricardo's theory of surplus-value.

Exploitation of labour If there are constant returns to scale, there will be perfect equilibrium if both capital and labour are rewarded according to their marginal products, exactly exhausting the total product. The primary concept is that there is exploitation towards a factor of production, if it receives less than ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40067623 |
Exploitation of labour For example, observers point to cases where employees were unable to escape factories burning down—and thus dying—because of locked doors, a common signal that sweatshop conditions exist, similar to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911. Others argue that in the absence of compulsion the o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40067623 |
