Lecture Series: “The Environmental Crisis: Capitalism or Socialism?!”
In a conversation with Mohammad Reza Jafari at the Zist Online sessions, Shahram Etefagh examined the environmental crisis through the lens of the conflict between capitalism and socialism. Due to the breadth of ecosocialist topics, the discussions were held over three sessions.
Shahram Etefagh: On the last day of Ordibehesht 1399 (May 20, 2020), through the efforts of the “Independent Zist Online News Agency,” an opportunity arose to hold a conversation with Mohammad Reza Jafari titled “The Environmental Crisis: Capitalism or Socialism?!” and our host for this virtual session was the dear Mohammad Ebrahim Raeisi, who, with his characteristic tact, gently guided and organized the discussion process.
Mohammad Reza Jafari is a development and environment researcher and the author and translator of articles on environmental crises, the water crisis, and eco-socialism. His published works include articles such as Floods and Inequality, The Globalization of Environmental Protection, The Shock of Floods: Capitalism, Dams, and Water Transfer, Climate Migrants, and translations such as Against Green Capitalism, Recovering Marx’s Ecological Heritage, The Eco-Socialist Creed, and The Eco-Socialist Manifesto.
I, too, in my book “The Political Economy of the Environment,” have referred to the material published by Mohammad Reza Jafari, and in the audio file “A Critique of Eco-Socialism,” I have drawn upon the material published by Mohammad Reza.
In the first online session of the dialogue, Mohammad Reza and I had a great deal to say, and doing justice to the subject within the time frames available to us seemed difficult. Therefore, at the invitation of Zist Online, it was agreed to hold further sessions so that the thread of the discussion would not be lost and the conversation would not be broken off.
