Emanuele Leonardi’s book explores the possibility of thinking with Gorz a possible bridge between degrowth and autonomous marxism. By taking seriously Leonardi’s call for staying with the political potentialities emerged during the period 1968-1973, here I would like to offer a contribution for thinking autonomy in more than human worlds. My provocation on the limits of historical materialism in facing the challenges of the ecological crisis is a lure for fostering further discussions on the relation between materialism and activism in the Anthropocene.
