I don't want to start a struggle session here, especially because my brain is dry from working on my dissertation and work; apologies if I donìt make sense or sound too confrontational.

I have been studying the history of sustainability thought for the better part of a year, and while i think socialism would have been much more fertile ground for a reckoning with our way of relating to the biosphere, it would've required an important level of commitment and openness to the dialectical pickle that is required to reject anthropocentric thought and moved onto more sustainable modes of production and consumption. I don't know if a young socialism would've been ready for that kind of conversation, especially when the living standards of billions of people needed immediate improvement for a good while.

This is all word salad, but what i'm trying to say, is that any philosophical movement that didn't question the anthropocentic and positivist assumptions of modernity (including marxism), would have had trouble coming to terms with a less predatory way of biospheric conviviality.
