Abstract In recent years, a schism has emerged within ecosocialist thought on the best way to challenge capitalist responses to the ecological crisis, with modernists on one side and degrowthers on the other. This piece calls for ecosocialists to work past this schism by focusing on common ground and embracing a pluralist Left, wherein both modernist and degrowth currents work collaboratively to gain power by making it clear how confronting capitalism and pursuing ecological sustainability can make our lives better. This paper is part of the SPE Special Theme “Critical Engagements with ‘Climate Change as Class War.’”

Abstract Matt Huber offers a powerful materialist class-based account of the notion of the interplay of nature and human life as the struggle of “proletarian ecology.” This formulation has led me to think about D.W. Winnicott’s idea of infant development and “environmental provision” in class-based terms. Winnicott’s ideas of environmental provision seem well suited to Huber’s work on environmental policy and governance. Issues of environmental provision for caretakers and children are increasingly eclipsed in a public policy sphere dominated by the Professional-Managerial Class (PMC) as birthrates for high-income women and families continue to fall and birthrates for the poorest women are almost double those of their higher income counterparts. This paper is part of the SPE Special Theme “Critical Engagements with ‘Climate Change as Class War.’”

Abstract Although I am highly critical of Matthew Huber’s book Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet, I share with him a conviction of the centrality of class in any analysis of climate change. I engage with the argument that Matthew Huber develops under two headings: first, his conceptualization of class, working-class interests, and working-class politics, and second, what the analytic of socioecological reproduction could contribute to thinking on class and climate crisis. This paper is part of the SPE Special Theme “Critical Engagements with ‘Climate Change as Class War.’”

Abstract The formation of a theocratic state in Iran after the 1979 revolution has had profound and lasting ramifications within the country and beyond. This article presents a renewed Marxist feminist analysis of Iran’s quest for freedom and democracy in the context of the rise of theocratic capitalism. I contend that Jîna’s Uprising implores us to revisit the symbiotic relations between Islamic fundamentalism and capitalist imperialism. This crucial connection is often overlooked in historical accounts and theoretical analysis.

Abstract Matt Huber’s book Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet has been fiercely debated in terms of its implications for the US climate movement, but it also offers important implications for how we think about the politics of social reproduction beyond US borders. This review draws out theoretical implications from Huber’s work that are especially relevant for understanding social movements, social reproduction, and the state in this ecological moment. This paper is part of the SPE Special Theme “Critical Engagements with ‘Climate Change as Class War.’”

Abstract This essay considers the import and originality of Matt Huber’s book Climate Change as Class War: Building Socialism on a Warming Planet. It identifies class critique and skillful application of the Professional-Managerial Class (PMC) concept to contemporary environmental movements as the book’s most substantive contributions, culminating in a reflective reassertion of Marxian modernism with regard to capitalist-induced climate change. It also finds lacunae in Huber’s underdeveloped theory of the state as it pertains to energy transition and in his connection (or lack thereof) between specific policy demands and working-class agency. These issues pose questions for further debate and elaboration, yet fail to overshadow the book’s generative class analysis and promising strategic proposals, which deserve widespread discussion on the activist Left. This paper is part of the SPE Special Theme “Critical Engagements with ‘Climate Change as Class War.’”

Abstract Michael Lebowitz (November 27, 1937–April 19, 2023) was an eminent representative of the New Left. He sought to reclaim Marx from the mechanistic readings—of both the Left and Right—that formed during the Cold War. Following Marx, he wrote on the creative potentials in every worker and the possibilities that might emerge for socialism once the fetters of capitalism were broken. This essay traces Lebowitz’s theoretical journey across his many books.
