Eco-Socialism: Difference between revisions

Help

It is very close to [[File: Soc.png]] [[Socialism]] economically, but more varied in other ways. It believes that [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]] will destroy the planet and that we need to have a revolution. Unlike [[File: Ecofash.png]] [[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 [[file:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]], in the belief that it puts profits over the environment, and the establishment of a [[file:Partip.png]] [[Participism|participatory]] socialist economy that's environmentally sensitive and sustainable.<ref>Löwy, Micheal (April/30/2020), "Can eco-socialism save the world?", from "Canadian Dimension", at: (https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/ecological-and-social-planning-and-transition)</ref>

Under this system, the people would, through [[file:Directdem.png]] [[Direct Democracy|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.<ref>Löwy, Micheal (April/30/2020), "Can eco-socialism save the world?", from "Canadian Dimension", at: (https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/ecological-and-social-planning-and-transition)</ref>

But along with this, the people would also directly elect [[file:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|representatives]], most likely [[file:Technocracy.png]] experts [[file:Scientocracy_Small.png]], to (and much more)<ref>Löwy, Micheal (April/30/2020), "Can eco-socialism save the world?", from "Canadian Dimension", at: (https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/ecological-and-social-planning-and-transition)</ref>:

* 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 [[file:Leftunity.png]] [[:Category:Left_Unity|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 [[file:Authleft.png]] [[:Category:Authoritarian_Left|authoritarian]] views, while others may be more [[file:Libleft.png]] [[:Category:Libertarian_Left|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]] [[Progressivism|progressive]], you could, from time to time, run into people who are more [[file:Conservative.png]] [[Conservatism|conservative]] or [[file:Trad.png]] [[Traditionalism|traditional]].
