Eco-Socialism

Eco-Socialism (shortened to EcoSoc) is an environmentalist,  economically left-wing and otherwise varied ideology. He believes that the reduction of CO2 emissions and socialist-style economically are complementary as pollution is the result of mainly Capitalist commodity production as EcoSoc claims.

It is very close to Socialism economically, but more varied in other ways. It believes that Capitalism will destroy the planet and that we need to have a revolution. Unlike Eco-Fascism, it believes all people should be treated equally. But it also believes in extreme environmentalism.

Economics
Eco-Socialism believes in the abolition of Capitalism, in the belief that it puts profits over the environment, and the establishment of a socialist economy that's environmentally sensitive and sustainable. It can be anywhere from centrally planned and  coop.

Civics
Eco-Socialism is, most of the time, found around the left centre of the political compass; around the centre of the civic axis on the left. But this may not always be the case.

Some Eco-Socialists may have more authoritarian views, while others may be more  libertarian in their politics. Largely depends on who you ask.

Culture
Exactly the same as the civics of Eco-Socialism, their cultural values could vary. While most people on the left, including Eco-Socialists, are generally progressive, you could, from time to time, run into people who are more  conservative or  traditional.

Personality
Ecosoc can be portrayed as a stereotypical ultra-environmentalist who talks about things like "Eating bugs", "Living in a Pod", etc. especially in right-leaning comics.

How to Draw
Ecosoc_flag.svg
 * 1) Draw a ball.
 * 2) Fill it in red.
 * 3) Draw the outline of a leaf in green.
 * 4) Draw a straight, green line down the center of the "hollow" part of the leaf
 * 5) Draw green lines coming out of the line in the center in both directions with spaces large enough to go over the "hollow" part of the leaf.

And you're done!
