Alain Bihr, Ecology and the labor movement
Centered on the analysis of the relations between the labor movement and the ecology movement, this article first sums up the issues of the ecological crisis : the long term survival of humanity, the functioning of « industrial societies » and the short term implications for democracy. The second part of the article shows how the ecological crisis is rooted in the process of the reproduction of capitalist productive relations, in particular in the subordination of utility value to exchange value, and in its productivist « logic». This analysis leads to the conclusion that the struggle for a healthy environment must be informed by an anticapitalist perspective and that the labor movement must be aware of it. However, and this is the third part of the article, such a struggle will not be possible until the labor movement overcomes the narrowness of its perspective. The labour movement must entertain more sophisticated models of a post-revolutionary society and must change its culture from one which conceives the technical domination of nature to one which aesthetically appropriates nature.
