OscailtA Green New Deal vs. Revolutionary EcosocialismEcosocialism: reformist or revolutionary, statist or libertarian?2019-01-08T06:57:07+08:00Anarkismoanarkismoeditors@lists.riseup.nethttp://www.anarkismo.net/atomfullposts?story_id=31250http://www.anarkismo.net/graphics/feedlogo.gifDeath of the Green New Deal?http://www.anarkismo.net/article/31250#comment167242019-01-08T06:57:07+08:00WayneSince this essay was written, the Democrats swept into power in the House of Rep...Since this essay was written, the Democrats swept into power in the House of Representatives. The House Leader, Nancy Pelosi, quickly shot down Ocasio-Cortez' proposal for a Select Committee for a Green New Deal. She further wrote into the new Democratic House rules the "pay-go" principle (no new legislation unless it can be paid for by either new taxes or cuts in other spending--this was already in the law but could have been finessed in various ways). Ocasio-Cortez denounced this as a roadblock to further progressive legislation. But it passed overwhelmingly, including with the support of almost all the freshman insurgent Democrats. Anyway Ocasio-Cortez had voted for Pelosi to be the Leader. Meanwhile the right has been holding up Ocasio-Cortez as a dangerous "commie" leader of the Democrats. Not likely.<br />

To be clear, I am not necessarily opposed to any of the specific proposals raised by O-C, or Richard, or the Green Party. If they were put up for a referendum, I would probably vote for them (depending on the specifics). I would join in demonstrations for them. But I am completely opposed to the Green New Deal <strong>as a strategy</strong>--a program of relying on the capitalist state, which is supposedly to be taken over through electoral politics. This strategy will not work, as history has repeatedly shown.A Green New Deal vs. Revolutionary Ecosocialism [1]http://www.anarkismo.net/article/31250#comment167432019-04-19T13:59:34+08:00BCGreat article.
