This is a great podcast with #PeterGelderloos about his new book #TheSolutionsAreAlreadyHere

The Poor Prole’s Almanac: The Solutions are Already Here with Peter Gelderloos
The conversation is framed around ecological collapse, the complexity of tackling these issues, and detangling climate change from the conversations around the carbon footprint. How does capitalism utilize climate change to continue its path to exploit the resources on the planet through tools like the green new deal, and how do we respond to this greenwashing?   We explore the concept of community-building, the power of utopia, and what kind of tools are at our disposal to find ways to gum up the system destroying the ecosystem.

A flower in the barrel of a gun does not impede the ability of the gun to fire.

"What most pacifists do not seem to understand is that free speech does not empower us, and it does not equal freedom. ... Free speech is only free as long as it is not a threat and does not come with the possibility of challenging the system. The most freedom of speech I have ever had was in the “Security Housing Unit” (maximum-security solitary confinement) in federal prison. I could yell and shout all I wanted, even cuss at the guards, and unless I thought up a particularly creative way to intentionally enrage them, they would leave me at peace. No matter: the walls were rock solid and my words were hot air."

"It often turns out that the greatest threat fascists pose is in what they enable the state to do, rather than what they can do by themselves." - Peter Gelderloos

#PeterGelderloos​ek matxinaden eta matxinaden aurkako errepresioaren errepaso historiko bat egiten du. Baieztapen asko egiten ditu denak zuzenak izateko baina orokorrean oso analisi interesgarria egiten duela iruditzen zait.

Etengabeko borroka horrek patroi errepikakor batzuk jarraitzen dituela eta oraina ulertzen eta etorkizuna aurreikusten lagun gaitzakeela ere badio.
