    We need to compile all this not for the libs (because they’re not going to care anyway), but for agitation purposes. We go around in endless circles here about how we actually do agitation and movement building in the west when the deck is so stacked against us. Personally, I think climate change - and the inability of capitalist “democracy” to be able or even willing to address it - needs to be a big part of that agitation. Young people are genuinely desponded about climate change. We need to be out there identifying how capitalism in particular lead to climate change and how as long capitalism is the dominant form of social organization on earth, we will never actually address climate change.

      You’re right but also “as long capitalism is the dominant form of social organization on earth, we will never actually address climate change.” Deffinitly doesn’t make me less despondent
