More than thirty years after the collapse of the USSR, the critique
of state socialism is still used to deny alternatives to
capitalism, irrespective of global capitalist ecological and social
devastation. There is seemingly nothing worthwhile salvaging from
decades of state socialist experiences. As the climate crisis
deepens, Engel-Di Mauro argues that we need to re-evaluate the
environmental practices and policies of state socialism, especially
as they had more environmentally beneficial than destructive
effects. Rather than dismissing state socialism's heritage out of
hand, we should reclaim it for contemporary eco-socialist ends. By
means of a comparative and multiple-scaled approach, Engel-Di Mauro
points to highly diverse and environmentally constructive state
socialist experiences. Taking the reader from the USSR to China and
Cuba, this is a fiery and contentious look at what worked, what
didn't, and how we can move towards an eco-socialist future.
