# Eco-modernism take over the machine, don't turn it off > Huber’s [[Climate Change as Class War]] has so far been the apogee of the eco-modernist position in a debate that has done much to further the discussion of desirable post-capitalist futures. The book’s emphasis on class struggle, thinking at scale, the state as a terrain of struggle, and the dynamics of transition are valuable contributions. Huber’s Sidecar essay reiterates many of these themes, stressing the need to imagine a green transition rooted in a Marxist study of the ‘historical economic conditions’, rather than abstract utopian speculation. > > – [[The Great Unfettering]] ## Criticisms > The very embrace of the ecomodernist label by a marxist is itself remarkable, given that ecomodernism is so clearly a case of bourgeois ideology. > > – [[First and Third World Ecosocialisms]] > Heron charges ecomodernist marxism with inattention to imperialism, including its ecological dimensions. > > – [[First and Third World Ecosocialisms]]
