Saito,2020 posted:
.... quote:Harvey’s hesitation explains why these Marxian geographers who advocate the production of nature thesis turn out to be quite reactionary in the sphere of ecology despite their self-claimed radical reconceptualization of the society–nature relationship. Again, it is helpful to refer to Adorno and Horkheimer’s Dialectic of Enlightenment. The modern project of instrumental reason is characterized by a ‘lack of reflection’ (Horkheimer and Adorno [1944] 2002: 158) that ignores the non-identity of nature and reduces it to a mere tool to be controlled and exploited for the sake of exchange value in capitalism (Cook 2011). ‘Reification’ is the ‘forgetfulness’ of society’s embeddedness in nature as well as nature’s otherness. This neglect results in ‘imperialism’ against nature (Horkheimer [1947] 2016: 76). The danger of monism in the ‘production of nature’ derives from its obscuring of the difference between the social and the natural that undermines the reflexibility over the non-identity of nature. According to Adorno, nature can be useful for humans in various ways, but non-human nature has its own purposiveness that is indifferent and irrelevant to humans. Under the identity thinking of capital, nature is damaged even more.9 It is important to highlight that the recognition of objective natural limits is not equal to Malthusianism. As Harvey rightly points out, Malthus’s theory of overpopulation is founded on an ‘ideology of nature’ in that it obscures the historical and social character of subsistence (what people need), natural resources (what they can use) and scarcity (how much they can use) under capitalist relations. The problem of overpopulation arises not because the world is not rich enough to feed everyone but because its wealth is quite unevenly distributed in favour of the rich in the Global North – hence, Harvey’s call to radically transform the capitalist relation of production for a fairer and more just share for everyone. Harvey is certainly correct, but this kind of critique in no way needs to eliminate the objective biophysical limits of the Earth. ... quote:

lobster shirt posted:did not read tl/dr Antinatalism is just another superficial symptom of the disease that is the completed reification of the fundamental elements that constitute the 'metabolic rift', which, however Marx originally understood it, has been proven historically to be a concept worthy of reinvigoration, according to the author. Most of us here get to still make six figgies yearly and mock everything though, so things aren't that bad yet. Anyway, I don't care about the kid y' all won't have, I'm just going to continue and radicalize mine
