*GTI Bulletin December 2018*

Dear Friends,

Is the Great Transition a postcapitalist project? Yes: its core values and
aims—human solidarity, quality of life, ecological resilience—contradict
the individualism, consumerism, and abuse of nature fostered by societies
that grant primacy to the profit motive. But postcapitalism is mere
negation. Can what-we-are-for be boiled down to a single, alternative
“ism”? Not easily, since a systemic transition must weave a whole cloth
from myriad cultural and ideological threads.

In "Why Ecosocialism: For a Red-Green Future
<https://greattransition.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=200b309cd11b2c2d483d3a050&id=a85096e298&e=a7f036d1ef>,”
Michael Löwy explores the twining of two cardinal “isms”—socialism and
environmentalism. While they have often been at odds in the past, now, Löwy
argues, environmentalists need to be socialists, and socialists need to be
environmentalists.

Löwy gives us much to ponder and act on. Still, it’s fair to ask: Does
“ecosocialism” provide the best formulation for our times? A wide-ranging,
esteemed group of commenters debates the question in our Roundtable: “Do
Red and Green Mix?
<https://greattransition.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=200b309cd11b2c2d483d3a050&id=b23a9add1c&e=a7f036d1ef>
”

Wendell Berry has long been the poet laureate of community and the land. In
“For Love of Place: Reflections of an Agrarian Sage
<https://greattransition.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=200b309cd11b2c2d483d3a050&id=4be549bf46&e=a7f036d1ef>,"
he reflects on the evolution of his thinking and life choices, and what now
needs doing.

Carry it on,
Paul Raskin
GTI Director

*Michael Löwy*

“Green capitalism” is an illusion, and twentieth-century socialism is a
perversion. We need a new model and movement for a democratic and
ecological socialism that links with the wider movement for a better world.
