Very good. On [[eco-socialism]]. Felt pretty similar in outlook to [[Half-Earth Socialism]]. I like the description of what [[abundance]] could actually mean.

Also introduced me to the idea of a [[Zoopolis]].

• [[The dream of superabundance is over]].
• [[Energy is going to have to be rationed]].
• [[Renewable energy cannot meet current demand]].
• [[Degrowth is required to reduce demand]].
• [[An eco-socialist definition of abundance]]

Also touches on [[ecofascism]], [[sixth extinction]], [[Meat consumption]], [[consumerism]]. Skeptical of the [[carbon footprint]].

His idea of a red zoopolis is interesting. Though sounds similar to [[deep ecology]]? Which has had its own accusations of ecofascism…

planet which is not a death-trap, and in which humans are not the self-loathing, guilty Anthropos of climate literature, but at long last the responsible stewards, and the agents of collective liberation.
