CLICHE'  SHOWERS  DAMPEN LABOR DAY CELEBRATIONS


Words of Warning:We tried to tell you.


 Capitalism vs. the Climate                                                              2011
“Most leftists have yet to realize that climate science has handed them the most powerful argument against capitalism since William Blake’s ‘dark Satanic mills. With climate change the ultimate example of how capitalism drives environmental as well as social destruction, climate activists would have to embrace an agenda of jobs, equality, and justice.

The New Abolitionism                                                                     2014
The only comparable precedent is the outlawing of slavery, which triggered the bloodiest war in US history. Climate activists should recognize that they are making an equally far-reaching demand.

On the Front Lines of Climate Justice                                         2015
… the science dictates imply revolutionary shifts in economic and political behavior …We need…a movement that’s about taking power and changing power structures at a fundamental level.

The Active Many Can Overcome the Ruthless Few                2016
 “The real point … is less to pass specific legislation than it is to change the zeitgeist… for the ruthless few can only be defeated by building political power.
