如何“定性”当下全球性生态危机,是福斯特对资本主义展开政治经济学批判的缘起和切口。当今生态危机本质上是资本主义的制度危机,制度危机转嫁到生态领域:由于资本积累的内在驱动,资本主义经济增长具有“物化”强制性,对环境的战争无可规避,资本主义“变绿”也只能是幻想。唯有通过生态革命超越资本主义走向社会主义(但非苏联式的社会主义),才能从根源上解决日益严峻的生态问题。尽管我们是社会主义国家,不会出现福斯特视域中的生态危机,但绝不代表生态问题不会在我国呈现,这一点决不能以意识形态来划界。福斯特的生态马克思主义思想能为我国“五位一体”总布局中的生态文明建设提供批判性视角和理论借鉴。
The "estimation" of the present global ecological crisis is the origin of Foster's critique of political economy of capitalism. The current eeological crisis is essentially a crisis of capitalism system. That is to say, it is a transformation of system's crisis ecological fields: due to the intrinsic drives of capital accumulation, the growth of capitalist economy with "materialized" compulsivity, its war on the environment being hard to avoid, and "greening" of capitalism only being an illusion, He believes that only through the realization of socialism by going beyond capitalism through ecological revolution (but not the kind of Soviet socialism), is it possible to solve increasingly serious ecological problems completely. Although China is a socialist country, the ecological crisis in Foster's perspectives will never occur. However, this does not mean that ecological problems do not exist in China. It may not merely judged by ideology. Foster's ecological Marxism could provide critical perspectives and theoretical reference for Chinese construction of ecological civilization in the general arrangements of the idea of "Five in One".
