#degrowth course, taught by a Black guy and a South Asian heritage woman, suggested donation $350 but nobody turned away for lack of funds (you can change the amount on the registration page). The BIPOC-focused version started this morning but I was able to sign up tonight anyway (there will be recordings of the live classes).

Scarcity conditions (eg competing with each other for scraps that fall from the tables of the Epstein class) are imposed on us by people invested in or benefiting from the status quo. Fuck 'em. We can build better.

Nein! Nein! Nein! und nochmal Nein!

Eine kapitalgedeckte, auf Rendite angewiesene Rente ist keine Lösung für nix, weil sie uns an ein Wirtschaftssystem fesselt, welches wir überwinden müssen, wenn wir soziale und ökologische Probleme wirklich lösen wollen.

Rente - oder wie auch immer man es nennen will, wenn alle im Alter angemessen versorgt sind - ist eine gesellschaftliche Aufgabe. Sie darf, wenn Gewinne immer mehr auf Maschinenarbeit basieren, auch nicht an Arbeit gekoppelt sein, zumal dann Care-Arbeit und Gesellschaftsarbeit benachteiligt sind. Für so etwas gibt es Steuern! Und wenn man Renten und Steuern halbwegs pfiffig aufeinander abstimmt, ist das auch nichts, was man als "Schulden" werten sollte.

Ich möchte nicht länger von ambitionslosen Trotteln regiert werden. Können wir da mal was machen?

`Capitalism locks us into never-ending cycles of imperialist violence. Capital accumulation in advanced economies relies on massive inputs of cheap labour and nature from the global south. To maintain this arrangement, capital uses every tool at its disposal – debt, sanctions, coups and even outright military invasion to keep southern economies subordinate (

We can move beyond the capitalist model and save the climate – here are the first three steps

Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

4/4

…Or that every EV vehicle of car weight or above takes 2 tonnes or more of coal to make and that puts 4 tonnes of CO2 in the air.

Or, and this is the real kicker, all this burgeoning electrification has so far not reduced global emissions at all and those need to be *plummeting*.

So in summary I would say that the electrification ‘plan’ looks really problematic.

And that maybe we should be integrating other levers
