DESCRIPTION:The manifold of events comprised by Hurricane Katrina should be regarded 
 within the framework of the ecological crisis as the interaction of 
 relatively independent lines of ecosystem de-stabilization each 
 representing a strand of capital’s impact on “socio-nature.” The 
 result of this interaction: the United States starts to become a “failed 
 state,” which leads to other levels of destabilization and chaos 
 (including accelerated economic crisis – especially those aspects driven 
 by fossil-fuel shortages), and for which the only outcome within the 
 reigning system-logic is the further emergence of fascism. The lessons are 
 starkly clear: seize the moment of de-legitimation to weaken the system’s 
 grip; integrate all movement activity under the sign of this crisis; focus 
 upon the building of autonomous zones of post-capitalist resistance and 
 community in those spaces that open up before us as the edifice of capital 
 and its state formation crumbles. Joel Kovel’s books include The Age of 
 Desire; Against the State of Nuclear Terror; and The Enemy of Nature: The 
 End of Capitalism or The End of the World (Zed, 2002 Since 2003 he has been 
 Editor-in-Chief of the quarterly journal, Capitalism Nature Socialism. In 
 1998, he was the Green Party candidate for US Senator from New York.
