Sustainable Development Marxism

A theoretical synthesis that applies Marxist analysis to the contradictions of sustainable development under capitalism. It argues that the dominant "green growth" paradigm is an oxymoron: you cannot have infinite accumulation on a finite planet. Sustainable Development Marxism exposes how corporate sustainability initiatives function as accumulation by sequestration—privatizing the atmosphere through carbon markets, commodifying ecosystem services, and greenwashing extraction. Yet it moves beyond critique to construct a positive program: democratic planning of production for genuine human need, the decommodification of nature, and the reduction of the working day as the ultimate environmental policy. It insists that ecological sustainability is impossible without socialism, and socialism is impossible without ecological consciousness.

Sustainable Development Marxism *Example: A Sustainable Development Marxist analyzes a corporation's "net zero by 2050" pledge. They note the reliance on unproven carbon capture technology, the offshoring of emissions to the Global South, and the continued expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure. They contrast this with a vision of publicly owned, democratically controlled renewable energy grids; free, high-quality public transit; and a planned transition that guarantees employment and retraining for displaced fossil workers. The former is sustainability as public relations; the latter is sustainability as class struggle.*
