This is a question I have been reading about since hearing it mentioned on a podcast I had downloaded. I have learned a lot and rather than write another post detailing what it is, here are a couple of good posts I found that provide the specifics:
Here in the U.S. Eco-socialism will have a tough time gaining a large following mainly because of our fear of anything with even the suggestion of the “S” word in it. Admittedly some of the eco-socialist tenets are principles that will never be accepted in the U.S., but that should not prevent us from learning about the movement and adopting what is possible of the good ideas embraced by the eco-socialist community.

Glad to see this post being ignored. Ecosocialism is socialism, plain and simple. Watch out for the wolves in sheep’s clothing.
I love Americans’ fear of Socialim. It seems so strange from a European point of view. Lets join together comrades!

Hey Quiet – The fear is usually not even of real socialism. Most U.S. residents do not know what socialism is.
Hi Anna – Nobody is allowed to do any eating away at anyone else here! Your comments are insightful and knowledgeable so have no fear!
