Brief notes on ecology as an absolute limit to capital in Mészáros

Abstract

In the current movement of the structural crisis of capital, there is the emergence of a fundamental contradiction with serious implications for the capital system: for the first time in human history, domination and the unimpeded expansion of capitalist structures and mechanisms, which are inherently irrational, are encountering resistance in the form of pressures resulting from the elementary imperatives of simple human survival, with the widespread destruction of the environment. These brief notes are intended to elucidate the urgency of the topic in debates aimed at a society beyond capital.
