ABSTRACT
This chapter interrogates eco-militancy through a historical lens while also providing a context for building radical ecological struggle that emphasizes system change over static reformism in the post-9/11 era. My argument is that the image of the ecological guerrilla has been obfuscated by the green capitalist complex by amplifying the view that militancy is incongruous with the development of an ecosystemic society. Here I present a contextual analysis of Animal/Earth Liberation Movements in the United States and across the globe, and the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) in the context of the Global War on Terror (GWOT) while also exposing the structural coordinates of militarized neoliberalism. My objective is to present an alternative vision of eco-militancy beyond the mystifications of the counterrevolution to posit a radical vision of decoloniality in the reign of entropic capital.
