Countering corporate violence: Degrowth, ecosocialism and organising beyond the destructive forces of capitalism
结合马克思主义、生态社会主义和去增长理论，分析企业暴力如何内生于资本主义生产方式，并探讨在后资本主义社会中通过彻底改造生产力来对抗这种暴力。
Corporate violence is a form of organised violence motivated or caused by material interest, profit-seeking or economic expansion. It is inflicted on human beings or ecosystems. Complementing a Marxist theoretical frame with literature on ecosocialism and degrowth, we examine how corporate violence is inherent to and has been consistently encouraged by the capitalist mode of production. By drawing on the concepts of primitive accumulation and social metabolism, we visibilise how such violence is manifested within the productive forces of capitalism – natural resources, labour, technology and money. Corporate violence, we argue, may only be countered in a post-capitalist society where the productive forces are radically transformed. We build on degrowth principles to articulate how corporate violence may be countered and how post-growth organising of productive forces may look.
