Implications of Contemporary Totalitarian Imperialism for the Communist Perspective
Starting from a brief analysis of the structural characteristics of contemporary totalitarian imperialism , as a dialectical supersession of classical imperialism, and of the continuing crisis of capitalism, we focus on the new characteristics of global capitalism, which are arguably crucial for the unfolding geopolitical conflicts and the struggle for socialism. Referring more specifically to the emerging divide and conflict within world capital…
Transcending Socio-Ecological Crisis by Means of the State or Revolution
The exacerbated socio-ecological crisis, including the devastating COVID-19 pandemic during the last few years, has given rise to a variety of interpretations and strategies to face this crisis. Some researchers have suggested that the state is the single most effective agent capable of mobilizing the amount of resources and the policies required to overcome a crisis of such a broad scope and devastating impact. This paper analyzes the causes of …
The Imperative Transformation beyond the Capitalism Pandemic
This article starts with a brief exploration of the multiple crises currently facing global capitalism, encompassing over-accumulation crisis, an exacerbated environmental and ecological crisis, the evolving epidemiological crisis associated with the COVID -19 pandemic, and a dramatic cultural and ideological crisis. This manifold crisis is considered as a specific “capitalism pandemic.” The most important implications of this generalized crisis …
The Ongoing Struggle between Capitalist and Communist Globalization
This article is an attempt to trace out the historical development of capitalism and the ongoing struggle between capitalist globalization and an emerging socialist/communist globalization as a dialectical counter-tendency. Based on a dialectical materialist methodology, our approach starts with an historical overview of capitalist accumulation and globalization, explaining also the crisis-prone character of capitalism. Within a framework of capi…
Transnational Political Economy and the Development of Tourism
Following a Marxist and, more specifically, a global capitalism perspective, this paper outlines the peculiar characteristics of tourism to argue that the recent developments of this sector have prominently contributed to the transnational integration and global accumulation of capital. These developments are explored by using a Marxist conceptual framework, including class and value relations, within a broader ecological context. Taking into acc…
Capital, Economic Growth, and Socio-Ecological Crisis
This paper presents a critique of mainstream growth ideology, as well as of a variety of neo-Malthusian or liberal approaches considering economic growth as an ideology, and “growth economies” as the main culprit of ecological crisis, while disconnecting growth from the prevailing capitalist mode of production. To tackle ecological crisis, they suggest economic de-growth or a steady-state economy, while often projecting the negative impact of eco…
Totalitarian Capitalism and Beyond
Anchored in contemporary debates on capitalism and political economy, this study reconsiders the major trends which are currently shaping a new stage of capitalism. With chapters examining globalization, the role of technology and environmental degradation, George Liodakis constructs a politico-economic approach on contemporary capitalism from within a classical Marxist framework of political economy. The volume provides a fitting balance between…
Recent Developments of Totalitarian Capitalism and the Evolving World Order
Under current circumstances, the lasting and exacerbated crisis of world capitalism, its far-reaching transformations, and intensified socio-political and geopolitical conflicts lead to highly uncertain conditions and an increasing world disorder. After some methodological remarks and a brief analysis of the recent developments of world capitalism, this article more specifically investigates the capital–state relations, and critically considers c…
An Exploration of Scarcity in Historical Perspective
Against a backdrop of a critical review of mainstream, more or less naturalistic conceptions of scarcity, an alternative Marxist approach stresses the role of the prevailing capitalist mode of production in the determination of scarcity. Capitalism tends to a systemic increase of scarcity, intensified further by economic crisis and the recently exacerbated socio-ecological crisis. Grasping this tendency requires a deeper analysis of the dynamics …
Crisis, the emerging new stage of capitalism, and the need of a transnational class strategy for social emancipation
In the context of a rapidly globalizing and tightly integrating capitalist economy ushering to a new stage of ‘totalitarian capitalism’, it is argued that the dominant nation-centric approach is theoretically flawed, historically outmoded, and politically ineffective in serving a revolutionary emancipation of the working-class social majority. After a theoretical substantiation of the emerging new stage of capitalism and a brief exploration of th…
The New Stage of Capitalist Development and the Prospects of Globalization
A historical assessment of the Leninist conception of imperialism is the necessary foundation for a theoretical periodi-zation of capitalism, in which the current developments and rising globalization have led to a dialectical supersession of imperialism. The emerging new stage of capitalism is characterized as transnational or totalitarian capitalism . The structural characteristics and basic trends of this new stage of capitalism stand in inter…
The Role of Biotechnology in the Agro-Food System and the Socialist Horizon
Nature, Value Theory, and Sustainability of Capitalism
The People-Nature Relation and the Historical Significance of the Labour Theory of Value
Contrary to some ecological critics, it is argued that it is not Marx's labour theory of value which should be blamed for environmental degradation and the ecological crisis, but rather the nature of capitalism itself insofar as it implies a continued appropriation of natural resources as a free gift of nature to capital. It is also argued that the necessarily limited environmental reforms under capitalism cannot ensure ecological sustainability.…
Environmental implications of international trade and uneven development
Environmental Implications of International Trade and Uneven Development
The main premises and the environmental implications of neoclassical trade theory and environmental economics are put under Marxist scrutiny. An attempt is then made to develop an alternative Marxist approach in investigating the specific significance of the capitalist mode of production and, more specifically, the environmental implications of international trade and uneven development. As argued, environmental degradation is largely the result …
