I agree with the article and have had the benefit of MEP's Ecosocialism classes
that covered these authors, including Saito's _Marx in the Anthropocene_.
That's a plug.
There's only one sentence that I would change in the article, which states that
"On the basis of the recovery of Marx’s deep-seated ecological critique,
ecosocialism has made major advances over the last quarter-century." I would
change that to "our understanding of ecosocialism has made major advances"
because the movement hasn't made major advances. Has it?
The conclusion makes the point: This "...constitutes a theoretical foundation
on which all those committed to the philosophy of praxis today can draw in
their struggles to create an economically egalitarian and ecologically
sustainable world." It's time, I think, that we seriously consider the goals,
strategy, tactics and demands for the movement as we continue to learn and
debate the theory. I think this list should have a role to play in that if we
are to be relevant in addressing world capitalism's most dire crisis.
thanks, Mark
