“化石资本主义”的概念源起、理论框架和理论评述

Conceptual Origin,Understanding Framework and Theoretical Review of“Fossil Capitalism”

“化石资本主义”的基本意涵为资本主义经济的生命线、资产阶级维护统治存续的权力阀门和地球系统进入人类世的肇因。其主要特征为资本逻辑的反生态“天性”、“化石帝国主义”式扩张、全球代谢出现裂痕和战争输出。为应对化石资本主义,伊恩·安格斯提出:吸纳“绿色左翼”的主张,提高生态保护方案的适用性,做坚定的国际主义者和反帝国主义者,鼓励大众积极参与生态建设。这为我们认识当代资本主义新特征提供了新视角,但也存在明显的局限:话语与实践的脱节、观察视角的单一以及忽视公民的具体责任等,其相应对策悬浮于实际。

“Fossil capitalism”basically means the lifeblood of the capitalist economy,the power valve of the bourgeoisie to maintain the survival of its rule,and the cause of the entry of the Earth system into the Anthropocene.The main features are the anti-ecological“nature”of the logic of capital,the“fossil imperialist”expansion,the fissures in the global metabolism and the export of war.In response to fossil capitalism,Ian Angus proposes to incorporate the ideas of the“Green Left”,to improve the applicability of ecological conservation programs,to be a committed internationalist and anti-imperialist,and to encourage public participation in ecological development.This provides us with new perspectives to understand the new features of contemporary capitalism,but there are also obvious limitations:the disconnection between discourse and practice,the singularity of observation perspectives,and the neglect of the specific responsibilities of citizens,etc.,and its corresponding countermeasures are suspended from reality.
