Reading for Climate Justice: Revolution in a Warming World
Short url:
After having read Andreas Malm's Fossil Capital we will continue the reading group by discussing a selection of shorter texts each session. For the first session this year we will return to Andreas Malm one more time and discuss strategy, revolution and climate climate change.
Selected articles:
- Revolution in a Warming World: Lessons from the Russian to the Syrian Revolutions: https://socialistproject.ca/2018/04/revolution-in-a-warming-world/
- an interview: https://climateandcapitalism.com/2018/02/05/andreas-malm-without-a-mass-movement-we-dont-stand-a-chance-against-fossil-capital/
- and as an extra, a podcast of his talk at the Code Rood camp: https://code-rood.org/podcast/learning-fight-warming-world-andreas-malm/

It is is time to talk strategy. Despite the growth of the climate movement, we are still a marginal force and probably nowhere near where we ought to be. So let’s get together and discuss the most important (but usually neglected) question: how do we change the world? How do we grow on numbers and diversity? How do we activate potential allies and politicize people we do not yet know? And what should be our next steps?
We do not have to agree on all the possible answers to these questions. But if we are serious about becoming a movement that’s capable of averting a catastrophic climate breakdown, then it’s time to have some collective strategic discussions and sharpen our analysis.
This is a horizontally organized reading group that is open to all. Especially people that are involved in radical political projects or the climate movement are encouraged to join. We think it is good to sometimes take a step back from organizing actions and talk about what we do, why we do it and how we can do it better.
