"Would Mariátegui be better branded as an eco-socialist? Doesn’t really matter, I feel." I don't think I had ever read or heard this about Mariátegui. I mean, I'm not a specialist in his work, but it seems like a very original possibility to me. Ecosocialism has a genealogy (at least in its dominant version) that points towards the "more developed" countries. I will return to Mariátegui with these eyes that you have lent me.
Your post was so great at summing everything up. I thought that you did a really good job. I really liked your line where you say that the author is writing with "the purpose of educating a population towards change." Bringing about change is hard and there is always resistance. Educating people towards change is a pretty accurate way to put it as you give people more knowledge and dispel falsehoods.
Thank you for the beautiful post as always! Your posts are so well-written that I'm usually too intimidated to comment on them. You articulated so many thoughts that I held in my heart, but didn't know how to put into words. I've also read Kimmerer's essay about the serviceberry! I think that essay has been pretty influential in how I see and move through the world. The land is so abundant, yet we are so ingrained in narratives of scarcity. Thank you again for sharing your learnings!
