Ep 58: Ecocide and Revolution

The last summer episode in which I talk about the various types of responses, good, bad, and mixed to the climate crisis coming upon us. After checking in with the inertia of capitalism as expressed by the Burning Amazon. I cover examples of parts of the longer game we should be playing. Covering some capitalist and anticapitalist use of permaculture, seizing industry, a statement on social ecology, and some direct community action. I end with some words on HK unrest. Permaculture is revolution disguised as gardening, pair that with a quip that ecology without class struggle is mere gardening.
