How ‘Green Colonialism’ Is Threatening This Indigenous European Community

YouTube

"In this paper we introduce the Journal of Labor and Society’s special issue on the ecomodernist features of imperialism and argue that these concepts must be theorized in tandem. The introduction begins by showing how ecomodernism and imperialism combine in practice through the example of the Council of Foreign Relations’ ‘Climate Realism Initiative’. It then charts ecomodernism’s emergence as a distinct theory and practice, arguing that it can take capitalist and anti-capitalist forms, both of which reproduce imperialist mechanisms of accumulation on a world scale. The paper’s third section questions the anti-modernist critique of ecomodernism offered by the concepts of extractivism and green colonialism. We then develop what we consider a more precise and rigorously anti-imperialist critique of imperialism’s ecomodernist aspects before concluding with some political propositions about the necessity of what we call a ‘communist ecological critique’ and by summarizing the special issue’s contributions."

The Geopolitics of Green Colonialism: Global Justice and Ecosocial Transitions

What and where are the grassroots movements and alternative visions that challenge green colonialism and offer ‘ecosocial transition’ pathways toward equitable and ecological futures? This question is at the heart of ‘The Geopolitics of Green Colonialism: Global Justice and Ecosocial Transitions’, an open access book which critiques the promoted solutions to the climate polycrisis while also exploring alternatives.

Green colonialism in Western Sahara

Under Moroccan occupation, renewables projects are being used to reinforce dominance

While #renewableenergy is seen as part of the solution to many environmental issues we are facing, it is also used as a pretext by capitalist lobbies and occupying states to overcome territorial sovereignty and implement privatisation. The case of Western Sahara is clear: two-thirds of the territory has been occupied by the Moroccan army since 1975, and now Morocco’s main tool to continue the occupation has become the green transition….. via @Freedom_Press
