    What to expect from COP26: climate action, climate justice or greenwashing?

    Originally published: International Socialism on October 17, 2021 - Issue: 172 by Eve Croeser (more by International Socialism) (Posted Nov 03, 2021)

    If Karl Marx and Frederick Engels were writing the Communist Manifesto today, it is not inconceivable that they would begin with the sentence: “A spectre is haunting humanity—the spectre of extinction.”

    Out of the shadows: female Leninists and Russian socialism

    Originally published: International Socialism on July 20, 2021 - Issue: 171 by Judy Cox (more by International Socialism) (Posted Sep 30, 2021)

    Originally published: International Socialism on July 26, 2021 Issue 171 by Bob Carter (more by International Socialism) (Posted Jul 31, 2021)

    Ecology and value theory

    Originally published: International Socialism on January 3, 2018 (more by International Socialism)

    Jason W Moores Capitalism in the Web of Life sets itself the challenge of locating an account of capitalist commodity production inspired by Karl Marx within the biological, chemical and geological totality we normally call nature. The ambition of the book is therefore immense. Moore proposes a method for understanding world history that shows how economic development is connected to long-wave ecological transformations. At a time when humanity faces profound and simultaneous ecological and economic crises, Moore proposes a kind of meta-theory that explains them as the outcomes of a single logic.
