Many Fronts, One Struggle: A Report on the 7th International Ecosocialist Encounters

William van den Heuvel — 2026-07-07T19:18:45Z

“An opening debate on geopolitics drew the connection sharply: the Green Deal had been left largely to capital and had offered working people, and the poorest layers in particular, very little. It is precisely into that gap that the far right thrusts. It frames environmental policy as an assault on ordinary people and wins terrain the left has long vacated.”

Heatwave Reflections: We Won't Return to the World Before, But We Still Have the Possibility of Living, and Living Well

Daniel Tanuro — 2026-06-22T09:42:33Z

As Europe endures its second spring heatwave of the year, the established powers are not confronting capital's grip on energy, finance, and agriculture — they are tightening it. Daniel Tanuro, Belgian ecosocialist and author of The Impossibility of Green Capitalism, argues that what is happening is not accidental but systemic: fossil investment grows, G7 leaders congratulate climate deniers, and even the European Commission dismantles its own inadequate green measures. The Holocene is over; (…)

Ecosocialism or barbarism

Paul Murphy — 2026-04-21T09:31:07Z

“The danger of a great catastrophe … is imminent. All the newspapers have written about this time and again. Everybody says this. Everybody admits it. Everybody has decided it is so. Yet nothing is being done.”

This isn't Greta Thunberg speaking truth to power. This was Lenin.

II Latin American and Caribbean Ecosocialist Meeting: Free Territories and Convergence for Action

Vanessa Dourado — 2025-09-28T07:02:27Z

The current times, with the rise of the far right and genocidal wars, mark an era where the contradictions of the current system of production, distribution, and consumption demonstrate that we are in a higher stage of the already characterised civilisational crisis. However, this is not just another of Capitalism's cyclical crises. The metabolic rupture, this irreparable breach in the natural cycle of exchange between human society and nature, challenges human beings' ability to provide responses compatible with the acceleration of socio-environmental destruction.

To save the environment, we must end the profit system

Ian Angus — 2025-03-03T11:50:45Z

A Portuguese translation of my book, Facing the Anthropocene: Fossil Capitalism and the Crisis of the Earth System, was published in Brazil in 2023. I was subsequently interviewed by Claudia Antunes for the multilingual magazine SUMAÚMA, a radical environmental journal that takes its name from one of the largest trees in the Amazon rainforest. SUMAÚMA published the interview in September 2024. This lightly edited version was published in Monthly Review in January 2025.—Ian Angus
