Eco-Socialism (shortened to EcoSoc) is an environmentalist,
economically left-wing and otherwise varied ideology. He believes that the reduction of CO2 emissions and socialist-style economically are complementary as pollution is the result of mainly
Capitalist commodity production as EcoSoc claims.
It is very close to File:Soc.png Socialism economically, but more varied in other ways. It believes that Capitalism will destroy the planet and that we need to have a revolution. Unlike
Eco-Fascism, it believes all people should be treated equally. But it also believes in extreme environmentalism.
Foundations and Beliefs
Economics
Eco-Socialism generally believes in the abolition of Capitalism, in the belief that it puts profits over the environment, and the establishment of a
participatory socialist economy that's environmentally sensitive and sustainable.[2]
Under this system, the people would, through direct democracy, administer larger operations, like factories and grocery stores, while smaller operations, like mom and pop shops; family run stores and such, would be left to the direct democratic decision of the people who partake it it's operation.[3]
But along with this, the people would also directly elect representatives, most likely
experts
, to (and much more)[4]:
- Advise the populous on the best decision to take.
- Make decisions in the place of the people, while still being accountable to decisions like recalls.
- Make essential decisions, like respond to a major problem at a power plant, and block oppressive decisions.
Civics
Eco-Socialism is, most of the time, found around the left centre of the political compass; around the centre of the civic axis on the left. But this may not always be the case.
Some Eco-Socialists may have more authoritarian views, while others may be more
libertarian in their politics. Largely depends on who you ask.
Culture
Exactly the same as the civics of Eco-Socialism, their cultural values could vary. While most people on the left, including Eco-Socialists, are generally File:Prog.png progressive, you could, from time to time, run into people who are more conservative or
traditional.
Personality
Ecosoc can be portrayed as a stereotypical ultra-environmentalist who talks about things like "Eating bugs", "Living in a Pod", etc. especially in right-leaning comics.
How to Draw
- Draw a ball.
- Fill it in red.
- Draw the outline of a leaf in green.
- Draw a straight, green line down the center of the "hollow" part of the leaf
- Draw green lines coming out of the line in the center in both directions with spaces large enough to go over the "hollow" part of the leaf.
And you're done!
