good video intro to ecosocialist organizing against fossil capital. Although I don't agree on all elements, imo, the thrust of the video is spot on and can be summed up as follows:A
1. Capitalism will not solve the climate crisis;
2. Ultimately, some kind of social revolution will be needed to attain an ecosocialist society;
3. For this, a broad movement of movements, centered on the organized working class will be needed;
4. A leadership of dedicated activists coming from, accountable to, and iteratively engaging with the movement is also needed;
5. For such a movement to be built, we must foster deep connections with each other, while combating oppressive ideologies and alienation fostered by the ruling class;
6. Such a movement should fight for attainable victories, especially given the immediacy of the climate crisis, while also struggling for "non-reformist reforms" and other measures that point to the overthrow of capitalism and mobilize working people in that direction;
7. We should also build those deep connections for and through efforts in organizing mutual aid that can sustain our communities through the waves of climate disaster;
None of this is new, but in this primer, seemingly directed to a climate activist audience, Our Changing Climate lays out the case in a reasonable and convincing manner, and provides numerous examples of how aspects of such organizing, both successes and failures, have already been accomplished. The video is part of a series including videos on Ecosocialism, Degrowth, Fossil Fascism and other topics. They do some fundraising for pet projects at the end, which you can take or leave.
