• Back from a short city break to [[Manchester]]. Was a lot of fun. We packed a lot in.

• Read: [[Revolutionary Strategies on a Heated Earth]]

  • Finished reading it earlier today, spread over the course of a few days. Recollections:
  • starts with a convincing overview of how catastrophic 'business as usual', green capitalism, etc, will be for the Earth system.
  • covers the various different aspects of the crisis (sounds like polycrisis as per what Nick Dyer-Witheford in [[Nick Dyer-Witheford on Biocommunism]])
  • asserts that only a rupture from capitalism is sufficient to avert disaster, and it is needed soon.
  • so: starting from a position of [[eco-socialism]]
  • Zeller then continues on to make own contribution to present debate as to what should [[eco-socialist]] strategies be.
  • doesn't like Malm's take on Leninism. Says it has a misguided stress on violence, and I think also that it misrepresents war communism.
  • seems big on the idea of [[dual power]]. (At multiple scales). I'm interested to explore more what is the difference between ideas of Leninist dual power and libertarian socialist dual power.
  • advocates for [[socialisation]] of energy, transportation, and finance. Socialisation being the first step to large-scale transformation.
    • not sure what is the strategy for actually socialising things though? Is that what hopes dual power can achieve?

• I shoud reread [[The Next Revolution]] to compare and contrast with the recent [[eco-socialism]] stuff.

• Doing a couple [[pomodoro for the revolution]] at Agora Meet.

  • copy highlights from [[Revolutionary Strategies on a Heated Earth]]
  • as above

• New claims:

  • [[Capitalism is the cause of the climate crisis]]
    • Not a particularly new or profound one, but a pretty foundational one for [[eco-socialism]] and thus worth documenting.
  • [[Net zero is part of a global imperialist climate policy]]
    • Don't know if I agree, but interesting and worth exploring.

• [[Cuba is the most sustainably developed country in the world]]

  • This is actually no longer accurate. Costa Rica is currently top.

• Cancer needs fast, constant short-term growth to thrive, so cutting off energy to the body with cancer may help kill cancer.
