The Open Letter to the Ecological Movement

Murray Bookchin

Abstract

As one of the veterans of the Ecological movement, the author is in favour of social ecology, believing that domination over nature with all the negative consequences that come with it, can be directly related to Man's domination over Man, present in all political systems. According to his beliefs, only if an ecological movement consciously encourages anti-hierarchical and non dominating attitudes can the Structure and strategy of social change preserve their real identity as a sign of balance between mankind and nature. The use of institutional, partial measures cannot solve the ecological crisis which threatens to take on catastrophic proportions. The solution can be found only on a global level and the expression of an ecologically aware society can be only through self-management and individual activity.
