I'd like to establish a group which could serve as a basis for resources against ecology-fetishism and it's offspring, namely, pseudo-Darwinist evolutionary psychology, biological determinism and a revived interest in Eugenics. The same ruthlessness Marx leveled against despicable scum like Malthus ought to be utilized today. The spontaneous ideology of the masses today is, contrary to what some of our more traditional leftists still stuck fighting battles won long ago like to claim, absolutely not religion. It is what can only be in the long term described as ecology - following globalization and the death of politics, a revived interest in the so-called "nature/nurture" debate, new age mysticism and reactionary ecology fetishism arguably has defined the coordinates of ideological obfuscation in postmodern capitalist society.
The spontaneous ideological predispositions of the masses are no longer petty superstition, but an even worse monstrosity: Pseudo-Darwinist biological determinism. Now the antagonisms and social ills of capitalist society are interpreted with loose pseudo-scientific paradigms of like Evolutionary psychology, now we live in a society where rape is implicitly construed as having a biological basis, where what was almost unanimously conceived as a social construct decades ago by anthropologists - "race" is more and more being understood, consciously or unconsciously, as an innate biological reality.
The implications of ecology amount to a form of hyper-reification wherein all that exists socially must be given a "natural" basis. This stems both from the inability of ruling ideology to JUSTIFY in any meaningful sense the poverty and misery of those who received the short end of the stick after globalization (Which is why we have books like IQ and Wealth of Nations, and The Bell Curve), as well as the inability to reconcile the realities of capitalist society with a meaningful social discourse that conforms with postmodern liberal ideology following the failure of the counter-culture. Everywhere from marketing to political rhetoric what is "natural" suddenly possesses magical properties that inspire compulsion and unquestioned dedication.
We, as Communists, have a responsibility to live up to the legacy of our historic tradition, not by mimicking our fore-fathers, but by precisely in approximation to our conditions in a manner that they did to theirs. We ought not to fall into the trap of recognizing the dichotomy which recognizes nature, but seeks to overcome it - we ought to destroy the innately metaphysical idea of nature itself.
