Starker Text von Eskil Halberg re: #Valencia und #Kollapspolitik / solidarischer Katastrophenschutz:
After the death toll in Spain, it's clear that climate adaptation is a political battleground that ultimately comes down to who lives and who dies.
Extreme weather will only get worse. And so it will increasingly become a class marker whether you can secure and rebuild or leave your house under water as a property-less climate proletarian.
Long-time German climate activist Tadzio Müller thinks this thought through. After a political depression following too many climate policy defeats, Müller has given up the fight against climate change. It's a lost battle. We won't make it. What remains is the fight for a solidarity-based and anti-fascist climate adaptation. A catastrophic class struggle that is about building social and political structures that can resist the political barbarism and social cannibalism that lies ahead.
How do we organise ourselves so that when disaster strikes, it's not just rich white people who can access clean drinking water, food and electricity? This is one of the most important political questions of the future in a world on fire.
