What is Political Ecology?
Marx and Engels incorporated in their writings a critique of the way that #capitalism destroys the environment but it is only in the last half century that environmental concerns have become an integral part of the fight for #socialism writes the #Marx Memorial Library and Workers’ School

#Ecosocialism Forum to host Ian Angus, author of “Metabolic Rifts” on 25 April, with Helena Sheehan, Inea Lehner, David McNally and Jess Spear. Sponsored by Monthly Review Press & Global #Ecosocialist Network.
The forum will feature a presentation of Ian Angus's new book, Metabolic Rifts: Capitalism’s Assault on the Earth System, which draws on a wealth of modern research to extend and deepen the natural science basis of Marxist ecology. In clear, non-technical language, Metabolic Rifts offers a scientific basis for understanding the deep causes of today’s environmental crises and a program for action to prevent catastrophe in our time. #MarxistEcology #EcoMarxism #MetabolicRift

"New materialist approaches tend to adopt a kind of naive materialism, where the material world is treated as something that can be understood almost on its own. The assumption is that phenomena can be studied as purely material processes — by tracing relations among actors, for example — without offering a sustained account of the social relations that structure a particular society or orient human action within it.
While this can reorient our perspective and draw attention to material activity, it cannot really explain what is happening unless it is paired with an analysis of social dynamics. That is what a Marxist approach provides. In this respect, my critique of new materialism is not unlike Marx’s critique of classical political economy. We can observe the effects of material entities, but to understand what drives those effects we need an account of the specific social form in which they appear. At the same time, I do want to integrate some insights of new materialism into a Marxist framework — especially their insistence on materiality — by holding together the social and the material rather than separating them.
The problem with much eco-Marxism is different. I have learned a great deal from that tradition and see myself as working within it. But there has often been an assumption that showing capitalism to be destructive of nature is, in itself, a sufficient critique. Human activity always transforms nature; that is part of our metabolic relationship with the more-than-human world. The critical question is not whether nature is transformed, but how, and under what social relations.
Much eco-Marxist thought rests — often implicitly — on the idea that the core problem is alienation from nature. What is missing is an account of how specific capitalist social relations organize and compel destructive interactions with the natural world..."

I am almost always hyper-fixated on something. It's one of the side effects of being bipolar, at least for me. Lately, I've been thinking about where I align politically. I recently took at quiz a https://leftvalues.github.io and it revealed to me that I am probably an Eco-Marxist. The "Marxist" part is not all that surprising, but the "eco" part is. I've never considered myself an environmentalist, however I suppose I am and I do have strong opinions on the subject. For instance, I have never been big on recycling because I know how much bullshit it is and most of what we send to be recycled ends in the ocean or a landfill. I loathe that companies often put the responsibility of saving the environment on consumers. It is the billionaire class and corporations who are destroying the environment, not me. I will continue to do my part, but nothing I do will offset the regular use of a private jet by the ultra rich.

Courant théorique d'écologie politique, l'éco-marxisme connaît un large succès populaire et universitaire. Pourtant sa radicalité s'exprime parfois par une disqualification d'approches, comme le nouveau matérialisme, qui pourraient en réalité se révéler complémentaires, si elles n'étaient pas caricaturées.
