Lecciones Ecologismo Coronavirus
Lecciones Ecologismo Coronavirus
-La destrucción ambiental como causa de las nuevas enfermedades. Deforestación, etc. Polución del
aire empeora la enfermedad, pero la cuarentena mejora la calidad del aire.
-Petróleo y energía
Algo que los ecologistas venimos diciendo desde nuestro nacimiento: nuestra especie es una sola,
-no tiene derecho a dominar a todas las demás (y está pagando el precio por creer que sí)-, las
fronteras nacionales son irrelevantes para el caso, y cooperando tenemos mejores chances de vivir
dignamente todos que compitiendo.
-Desnuda las contradicciones del dogma del crecimiento económico como motor de la civilización.
Una ventanita a un mundo de decrecimiento. Desglobalización. “la balanza” TOC
-La importancia del pensamiento sistémico y no lineal. El mecanismo complejo por el cual el virus
es tan peligroso para la sociedad.
-Las respuestas de las democracias liberales vs las de los sistemas autoritarios. Pérdida de prestigio
de las primeras. Peligro. “Lo que sí es muy probable -y tenebroso- es que el modelo democrático
occidental y liberal salga muy golpeado por su dificultad para imponer políticas coercitivas en
sociedades individualistas y muy acostumbradas a las ilusiones de libertad absoluta e inexistencia
jerárquica. Si los modelos autoritarios al estilo oriental tienen mayor éxito en controlar esta
pandemia que los demócratas-liberales (que ya además están minados por dentro tanto por la
derecha populista como por la izquierda identitaria y anti-garantista), entonces van a perder apoyo,
y no hay nada más fascista que un burgués/obrero/jubilado/comunista/loquesea asustado. Y
Occidente se ha ablandado mucho y es muy asustadizo.”
-Cuestionamiento de la industria del turismo, de alto impacto ambiental y totalmente dependiente de
las redes globalizadas.
-Economía real vs economía especulativa y globalizada (finanzas y turismo). Como afecta a China
(real) y a otros países capitalistas
Fin inevitable del capitalismo por el agotamiento de los recursos naturales. Opción: barbarie
neofeudal o decrecimiento social controlado.
I'm not sure how to feel about this post. As much as I sympathise with the sentiment it expresses
and agree that the pervasive neoliberalism in current capitalism was an accelerating factor in the
virus spreading, I think it fabricates a bit of a strawman argument in some ways and disagree that
celebrating the Earth having a breather from human activity is eco-fascism.
I follow quite a few ecological and green pages, and I haven't seen anybody posting that the virus
killing people is "cleansing Earth", and they'd be wrong to do so too because there aren't nearly
enough people dying for that to be the case. They have posted about the Earth "cleansing" itself, but
not by wiping out humans. The "cleansing" factor is actually the fact that people are staying inside
for a change and not polluting the atmosphere a ton. Secondly, to think that people are rejoicing in
people dying for that very reason is also a bit of a strawman and a segue into calling them eco-
fascists - I haven't seen anyone say that.
To say that rejoicing in the Earth having a chance to breathe from human activity for a short period
of time isn't eco-fascism. There is a door for eco-fascists to advocate the virus wiping out poorer
populations in countries whose infrastructure can't combat the virus, but the argument itself isn't
eco-fascist. These are plain facts: pollution levels have gone down drastically. Pointing out the
positives of an otherwise negative situation doesn't mean ignoring or nullifying the negatives,
it means learning from the current situation and what it might mean for building a more
sustainable future. What we've seen here is that humans are capable of adapting their
lifestyles in such a way that our pollution goes down and that the environment is treated
better, we just haven't done it so far. After this event, there'll be no more excuses.
Lastly, neoliberalism did accelerate the virus spreading and capitalism has created conditions under
which humans venture further into natural territories and hunt exotic animals for food (often out of
necessity, not out of gourmet curiosity). I think that's a point that anyone left of the spectrum can
agree on. But to put the preceding arguments out there poses a risk to the integrity of the left at a
time where we should be uniting over common factors instead of squabbling and creating strawmen
abstractions of one another. After this has died down (and I have no doubt it will), we'll need
solidarity and unity as the post says. I've no doubt there are folks out there who legit think people
(often the disadvantaged) dying is nature's revenge and there's nothing we can do about it, but
among those who care most about the planet's health (i.e. greens), I've not seen that sentiment at all
and don't think putting this out there helps leftist integrity because it might incentivise people to call
out others who are rightly looking at what we can learn from this situation vis à vis the
environment. Worse yet, it'll make those same people think wrongly about what's being said,
thinking that we're rejoicing about deaths when it's actually the promise of something better in
future.
PROPUESTAS
-Nacionalismo económico. Con el comercio mundial paralizado, los países se cerrarán sobre sí
mismos. Apostar a un liberalismo agroexportador que prescinda de toda industria y aún mucha
agricultura local es suicida.
-Cáñamo
-Bicicleta
