Today,with the continuous development of the commodity economy,consumption has driven the rapid economic growth through its unique advantages.Normal development,and it will also bring a huge ecological crisis.The continuous deterioration of the ecological environment and the continuous improvement of people’s demand for a better life obviously have a confrontation relationship.In this case,Ben Agel was keenly aware of the connection between alienation consumption and ecological crisis,and based on this as a starting point,it exposed the disclosure and criticism of the current status of the capitalist society.After World War II,due to the innovation of science and technology and the application of science and technology in the production process,the production scale of Western capitalist countries was increasingly expanded,and the consumerist values supported by it also began to penetrate all aspects of people’s lives.As a result,consumers crazy shopping and producers crazy plunder natural resources have become the phenomenon of contemporary capitalist society everywhere.When Ben Agel paid attention to this social reality,combined with the thoughts of many scholars such as Marx,Marcuscer,William Rice,etc.,he clearly put forward his alien consumer doctrine.He believes that under the joint influence of providing excessive production of material foundations and excessive consumption of promoting role,alienation consumption can be formed,and the harm it produces has continuously spread from human society to the entire nature,and it is very wide.If you want to overcome these sharp problems,you should start with solving the problem of alienating consumer behavior.The "Dialectics that expects the crushing" advocated by Agel can change the current distorted consumption concept of human society by breaking the beautiful imagination of the infinite production of capitalist society,while the decentralized and non-bureaucratic social industrial production mechanism is The perspective of social production to protect the environment is no longer damaged,thereby forming a benign relationship between human society and ecosystems to promote each other.Ben Agel’s alienation consumption thought not only enriched the theoretical content of ecological Marxism,but also provided a new perspective when we were thinking about the cause of the ecological crisis of contemporary capitalist society,but standing at Marx’s Standing in Marx’s If the position is reexamined,you will find that this theory mistakes the contradiction between man and nature as the main contradiction of capitalist society,deviates from the main line of historical materialism,so that its theory has a certain imagination.Nevertheless,its alienation consumer thought can still play a certain guiding role from the theoretical level in the process of promoting the construction of ecological civilization.Therefore,in-depth analysis of Agel’s alienation consumption theory can not only form a relatively comprehensive alienation consumption theoretical system,but also help the current smooth progress of the construction of ecological civilization in China.This is still in the primary stage of socialism.Words are of great significance.
