САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

The relationship that capitalism establishes between the economy and nature is markedly contradictory. As a geomorphological agent, capitalism is the main sociohistorical cause of the ecological limit imposed on humanity’s survival. In recent decades, innovative theoretical approaches (Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Oikeios, etc.) have emerged alongside institutional programmatic initiatives within the international system (Sustainable Development, Agenda 2030, Green New Deal). However, the progressive deterioration of the environment continues. This text aims to critique all those theoretical positions and beliefs that promote changes in environmental protection strategies without altering capitalist production relations or questioning the power structures of the capitalist world-system, which are inherently hostile to nature.
