Gives some critiques of ecosocialism. I don't necessarily agree, but worth a read and a think about.

Criticisms are roughly:

  • not enough concrete ideas on actual transition (perhaps true, also recognised by ecosocialists themselves)
  • too much focus on the social, not enough on the eco (I'd disagree with that from what I've seen)
  • capitalism is too embedded to overthrow it, need to work within current system (kind of the reformist argument)
