Under what conditions could ecology, instead of being one cluster
of movements among others, organise politics around an agenda and a
set of beliefs? Can ecology aspire to define the political horizon
in the way that liberalism, socialism, conservatism and other
political ideologies have done at various times and places? What
can ecology learn from history about how new political movements
emerge, and how they win the struggle for ideas long before they
translate their ideas into parties and elections? In this short
text, consisting of seventy-six talking points, Bruno Latour and
Nikolaj Schultz argue that if the ecological movement is to gain
ideological consistency and autonomy it must offer a political
narrative that recognises, embraces and effectively represents its
project in terms of social conflict. Political ecology must accept
that it brings along division. It must provide a convincing
cartography of the conflicts it generates and, based on this, it
must try to define a common horizon of collective action. In order
to represent and describe these conflicts, Latour and Schultz
propose to reuse the old notions of 'class' and 'class struggle',
albeit infused with a new meaning in line with the ecological
concerns of our New Climate Regime. Advancing the idea of a new
ecological class, assembled by its collective interests in fighting
the logic of production and safeguarding our planet's conditions of
habitability, they ask: how can a proud and self-aware ecological
class emerge and take effective action to shape our collective
future?
