What the fuck is social ecology? Help me understand Bookchin's ideology please, I really don't know where to start here. His works are unclear and I don't understand them. Maybe because I am retarded but everything is so convoluted and quite frankly, boring.

>social
1.relating to society or its organization.
2.needing companionship and therefore best suited to living in communities.
>ecology
Ecology (from Greek: οἶkος, "house"; -λογία, "study of") is the scientific analysis and study of interactions among organisms and their environment. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes biology and Earth science.

It's not that simple. I'm talking about the political ideology.
What's hard? You take socialist anarchism and top it with an abolishment of the nature/culture divide.
So you have communalism with both humans and non-humans as part of the communal.

To be perfectly honest I have a politics exam coming up on Friday and I need to just list the main themes of Bookchin's theory. I have no idea where to start because I find his work to be shit.

That requires time and because I'm an American I'd rather have it spoonfed to me. I'll give you original content of a hot girl I got nudes from.

Ecology must be social or it's not ecology because the roots of the ecological devastation is social, cultural. Specifically, it's the "master-slave" paradigm that the agricultural revolution started 10,000 years ago.
In our civilization, everything is seen through this paradigm. Women are subjected to men, the poor to the rich, the weak to the strong, and the ecosphere to the industrial needs. To stop the ecological crisis, we need to change the cultural basis of our civilization.
Bookchin proposes a kind of federal solution: a network of small villages (with modern technology, he's not a luddite) independent and self-sufficient, both in food and energy.
Each of these villages will self-administrate with direct democracy (assemblies of the citizens). Each village will then send representatives to regional assemblies, and the regions will send representatives to continental assemblies. He wants a federation where each individual village is politically autonomous.
