CLIMATE CHANGE,

MARXISM AND COLLAPSE

The possibility of collapse from a marxist perspective:
Marx, Luxemburg and Benjamin

Institute of Archaeology
December 20: 20:00 – 21:00

This presentation will focus in discussing some ideas of Karl

Marx, Rosa Luxemburg and Walter Benjamin regarding to the
concept of collapse, this integrating some of the most accepted
scenarios of global warming for this century and its possible
relationship with class struggle and the historical process during
the next few decades. It is stated here that the concept of
collapse, widespread within the marxist tradition as the
"possibility of barbarism" (in opposition to socialism), need to be
understood from now, far from being a theoretical problem, as
one of the most fundamental strategical problems of the history
of revolutionary theory.
