Die Veranstaltung der Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung mit Kohei Saito zu seinem Buch »Capital in the Anthropocene: Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism« (auf Deutsch unter dem Titel »Systemsturz. Der Sieg der Natur über den Kapitalismus« erschienen) steht jetzt online.

Ich war nicht dort, lese das Buch momentan und finde es bisher ziemlich erhellend. #KoheiSaito #Saito #DegrowthCommunism #Systemsturz

@raskolnik Ha! Was ich mit »Systemsturz«-Buch von #KoheiSaito nicht kapiert habe: daß er mit dem Begriff ›#DegrowthCommunism‹ AUCH eine ›politische Intervention‹ leisten will.

ABER: Marx hat dessen fünf Kernpunkte eben in seinen späten Jahren vorweggenommen.

1—Wandel zu Gebrauchswertwirtschaft
2—Verkürzung der Arbeitszeit
3—Aufhebung uniformer Arbeitsteilung
4—Demokratisierung des Produktionsprozesses
5—Fokus auf systemrelevante Arbeit (sorry Reklame-Branche).

"Saitō Kōhei has been a hot commodity in Japan since the surprise success of his Marx-inspired Hito shinsei no shihonron, published in English as Marx in the Anthropocene. In a candid interview, Saitō defends his vision of a postgrowth, postcapitalist society and explores practical steps toward that ambitious goal."

"...In doing so, however, he lost sight of the methodological role of Liebig’s theory of metabolism in Marx’s Capital as a way to analyse the relationality of humans and nature from both a transhistorical and socio-historical perspective and to reveal the particular contradictions of capital’s second-order mediation."

Cant get enough of Saito's colorful critique of Engels:

"Since Engels’s concept of metabolism emphasized the historical emergence of protein in opposition to Liebig, his ecology did not apply the concept of metabolism to environmental issues as Marx and Liebig had done..."

Marxism, but not as we know it. Interesting stuff.

I don't know, or greatly care, if #Saito is right that #Marx gave up on both the labour theory of value and historical materialism before he died, but I respect his reckless rousing of the wrath of the marxbros and other elements of his fandom, who probably all now hate him. #degrowth #degrowthcommunism
