Towards ecomunism: a mythical response to some problems of Marxism

Abstract

According with the author, the way to overcome the contradictions of the ruling capitalism -which are shown in the current ecological crisis- is not quitting the totalizing metastories, but in avoiding its influence -particularly in the case of those metastories that justify the destruction of ecosphere, subjugation and exploitation of other individuals and so on-. In that sense, the so-called Ecommunism is an alternative metastory to capitalism and modernity, in order to create a project that would turn human society into a good place, in which everyone could be able to pursue plenitude and harmony.
