Summary:In recent years, a schism has emerged within ecosocialist thought on the best way to challenge capitalist responses to the ecological crisis, with modernists on one side and degrowthers on the other. This piece calls for ecosocialists to work past this schism by focusing on common ground and embracing a pluralist Left, wherein both modernist and degrowth currents work collaboratively to gain power by making it clear how confronting capitalism and pursuing ecological sustainability can make our lives better. This paper is part of the SPE Special Theme “Critical Engagements with ‘Climate Change as Class War.’”
