This talk attempts to situate environmental damage along class struggle lines, within the capitalist system of production/consumption, and provides a vision of an anarchist-communist alternative.
In recent years, the anarchist movement has found itself breaking into two camps: traditional, class-struggle (red) anarchists, and more recently, environmentalist (green) anarchists. This talk is designed to provide an anarchist-communist perspective on issues of environmental devastation and the movements that have developed to combat them. Situates environmental damage within the capitalist system of production / consumption and provides a brief vision of an anarchist-communist alternative.
Producer's notes:
Enjoy. Dogs and crickets give this recording a nice feeling. Discussion has some quiet spots, but is rather revealing. Thanks to the organizers and participants of the third annual Renewing the Anarchist Tradition conference. Let me know if you find this talk useful -- so I know how effective it is to record, edit, and upload these things.
