Description
Climate Crisis and Capitalism: A Revolutionary Approach We are living through an unprecedented climate crisis. As disasters mount and crises deepen, our imagination for transformation lags behind. In "Hope Against Hope", the Out of the Woods collective investigates the critical relationship between climate change and capitalism, calling for a new approach to organize within and against ecological crisis. The authors argue that traditional environmentalist and leftist discourse often perpetuate racist, nationalist, and capitalist assumptions, hindering our ability to address the root causes of the crisis. Instead, they propose an abolitionist approach to border imperialism, reactionary ecology, and state violence, which could lead to a new form of collective power and a climate future based on common life. This book offers a radical vision for creating "disaster communism" - a collective power to transform our future political horizons from the ruins.
