First published at Haymarket Books.
It is clear, at this late hour of the climate crisis, that nothing short of revolution in some form can salvage the possibility of global justice. It is equally clear that a mere climate or climate-justice movement cannot do this alone. What is required is not simply a more powerful “climate left” but a far more powerful left — a resurgent, revolutionary left — for which the total defeat of fascism and of fossil capital are understood as inseparable. Everything the left has fought for is now at stake.
Haymarket Books and Verso Books hosted an urgent conversation on December 19 about climate catastrophe and the left, featuring: Andreas Malm and Wim Carton, co-authors of The Long Heat: Climate Politics When It's Too Late; and Thea Riofrancos, author of Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism. The conversation was moderated by Wen Stephenson, climate-justice correspondent for The Nation and author of Learning to Live in the Dark: Essays in a Time of Catastrophe.
