Anthropocene Communism

In Anthropocene Communism, the philosopher and activist Paul Guillibert proposes a brand-new communism for life: biocommunism. With the aid of this system, he hopes to move us beyond the ecological crisis of late capitalism. In a highly original reading of Karl Marx's exchanges with the populist 'terrorists' in Russia and informed by the cultural studies of Raymond Williams, the Marxism of Jos, Carlos Mari,tegui, and Ernst Bloch's attachment to the land, the author develops a philosophical naturalism that rethinks our relations with the environment. Rather than a fixed state, this relationship is influenced by cultural, social, and historical practices.For Guillibert, if we are to move beyond the Anthropocene, we must develop new strategies. Communism must become environmentalism, and political ecology can only become truly revolutionary once it is communist.
