The doesn't need to destroy the -- progressive infighting will do it.

The has definitely lost its way. Moving its HQ to Washington is a sign of that. Very unfortunate.

Now that's a truly SOCIALIST & LEFT political program for the 21st century. Unfortunately, most of the pseudo left commentariat and political forces are only interested in discussing the sex of angels while the world burns and capitalism provokes greater depression worldwide.

: "Kropotkin’s argument stands today. It would not take much, as a share of total global productive capacity, to ensure decent lives for everyone on the planet. But with the reality of the ecological crisis, we must also face a second challenge, one that Kropotkin could not appreciate in the nineteenth century: to achieve well-being for all while at the same time reducing aggregate use of energy and materials (specifically in the core) to enable sufficiently rapid decarbonization and to bring the world economy back within planetary boundaries. Technological innovation and efficiency improvements are crucial to this, but high-income countries also need to scale down less-necessary forms of production in order to reduce excess energy and material use directly.

If capitalism has always been unable to achieve the former goal (well-being for all), it most certainly cannot achieve the latter. It is a structural impossibility, as it runs against the core logic of the capitalist economy, which is to increase aggregate production indefinitely, to maintain the conditions for perpetual accumulation.

It is clear what needs to be done: we must achieve democratic control over finance and production, as Kropotkin argued, and now organize it around the double goal of well-being and ecology. This requires that we distinguish, as Kropotkin did, between the socially necessary production that clearly needs to increase for social progress, and the destructive and less-necessary forms of production that urgently need to be scaled down. This is the revolutionary world-historical objective that faces our generation."

This is my massive axe to grind about modern environmentalism it isn't about the environment at all. Really it is about finding an environmental solution it is about allowing the economy to continue to grow and do whatever the fuck out wants while putting a performative bandaid on the issue. It will literally fix nothing, yet the self-congratulatory mood prevails like it is a great victory for humanity. Environmentalism is nothing more than a smokescreen for capital to continue to grow.

Hello fellow Kolektivists.

I'm here to join and support those opposed to growing fascism in US and world politics, environmentalism and local governance and political activism.

My political and environmental activism dates back to the early 1970s in Nebraska, Wyoming, Alaska, New Mexico and California. I work locally to promote public participation in local government, and to reveal the effects of global fascism on local politics and civil affairs.

@jwildeboer @smiddi @reticuleena @dkloke “Positive changes” for whom? The “depopulated” deer probably weren’t fans of the reintroduction of their killers.

The ecological ideal is a wilderness “untainted” by man, but every ethical value implies a valuer. The problem with is that it advocates humans value their own absence from the world. It’s slow suicide painted over with a pretty landscape.

If you’ve spent any time in the suburbs of North America, you’ve probably marveled at some immaculate and lush green lawns at some point. But between individual cost, water usage, pesticides, racialized class and more - lawns really aren’t all they’re cut out to be.

How Tamil cinema romanticises agriculture by ignoring issues of caste and gender

With the ‘save farmers’ trope coming back to mainstream discussion after the jallikattu protests in 2017, movies once again began connecting Tamil identity to agriculture. Any threat to agriculture was seen as a threat to Tamil identity itself. Akchayaa Rajkumar writes.

please send me your favourite brains-melting-out-ears hot takes which misunderstand human behavior, math, or like... thermodynamics. some of mine:

"solar doesn't work at night"
"being vegetarian means killing more field animals to harvest those legumes"
"well the second law of thermodynamics means we shouldn't bother shifting to green energy, because entropy always increases anyway"

that last one man... wild times.
