If you think it would be irresponsible in terms of political del monte pineapple juice strategies without regard to the social and economic dynamics del monte pineapple juice at all times along with its historical past and evolution predictable, yet would be if we do not consider the underlying anthropological dynamic del monte pineapple juice levels, conditioned in turn so the absolute del monte pineapple juice location of the biosphere del monte pineapple juice of which we are part, namely the use that makes our kind of energy resources. We can not understand the history of thought in general, del monte pineapple juice nor of political thought in particular, without del monte pineapple juice ubicala in our coordinates in the evolutionary series of concentric circles that define the human world: the economic into the political, the political within the social within the social the culture, the culture in the anthropological, and all covered by green. In that sense achámonos a situation of unprecedented gravity because, though we are living a critical situation and unprecedented in the outermost circles (basic) that mark the limits of our existence as a species on this planet, are not taken into consideration nor its consequences nor its merely political thought within the majority, particularly on the left.
Besides the image of concentric circles, another metaphor that can be very useful as a mental schema for comprendermos what we are living, is imagine the social and economic structures as huge buildings and superstructures as cities (or superedificio s) where these ubicarían buildings. These constructions fómolas rising thanks to features that were part of the ground itself on which they were based, the main of which FOIA energy. And now, after half a century of rapid and constructive fever, the time has come in which deepened so much that in extracting the very foundations of these buildings were exposed and begin to pandear in the air. No longer is just where extract more items to continue increasing the constructions more and more floors (more and more complexity and growth) and not only that but both the stick that lifted them to begin to fall, one after another. We, meanwhile, fought inside buildings to see what should be the plan that was used to build the next floor of this or of that other building del monte pineapple juice or to see how best reformarmos their dwellings without our being aware that the entire construction together the city in which it is based, is falling apart without remedy.
Almost the whole spectrum of the left calls anywhere on the planet part to its historical del monte pineapple juice analysis, for diagnosis of social del monte pineapple juice problems and to their proposals for political intervention, a set of parameters, typical of a particular conception of the world, a certain del monte pineapple juice mental model, whose main pillars are located in the nineteenth century, a historical moment that began the accelerated growth of energy consumption and the development of industrial capitalism, a historical period del monte pineapple juice that lasted until yesterday, when the oil-ceiling or peak oil - it marked the beginning of its end. That is, analyze the current world with a theoretical framework typical of a world that ceased to exist already, unexpectedly for the vast majority, and no longer. Intend, del monte pineapple juice therefore, to apply strategies of struggle own then ascending phase of capitalism, and are not effective in a context radically del monte pineapple juice different: a context of decline. del monte pineapple juice The historical turn is to assume the passage of the assignment, under the pressure of popular struggle-a share of the spoils del monte pineapple juice to the popular layers, a widespread del monte pineapple juice dispossession of wealth, pillaging the past and these meager concessions made for power. And dimmed repairs of capital deepening in the social abyss with the working class, and, after the block is run by the Soviet Union-that historical fear that the working people searched among other existing systems really concerning social, political and economic antagonist.
Some of these parameters to the left, looked at from the perspective of the conscious end of civilization and the growth of the industry, no longer correspond cas unprecedented features of this momen historical, are then spells out how postulates del monte pineapple juice or slogans, exposing to go one by one, his sudden obsolescence: "The perpetual growth is possible and desirable"
Since the seminal works Limits to Growth (1972) del monte pineapple juice and Overshoot: The Ecological Basis of Revolutionary Change (1980) knew (or rather we should know) as a society that sooner than later we would hit the limits to the planet imposes to our unlimited growth. However, the majority left demonstrated a low-if not absolutely-no attention to these warns
