Éco-communalisme

Abstract

The article develops two main arguments. The first develops the four points on which Murray Bookchin enriches the revolutionary socialist tradition : through the integration of ecology, the consideration of the problem of hierarchy, a re-reading of the history of revolutions and the communalist project as a way of jointly overcoming Marxism and anarchism. The second makes clear that Bookchin's work consists of two inseparable investigations, into the causes of the ecological crisis on the one hand and the politics of emancipation capable of overcoming this crisis on the other. Bookchin's communalism is ultimately an eco-communalism that allows the evolution of societies to be reinscribed in the evolution of the nature to which they belong.
