The Earth is Running Amock! It’s Time for an Ecosocialist International! Now is the Time for a Socialist Regroument!At this time, in the history of the planet, all life now threatened with existinkion! To understand this moment, we have to recognise that there is an existential struggle on both sides. While environmental scientists and activists fight for the very survival of the habitable planet, the fossil fuel, meat and internal combustion industries are fighting for their economic survival. Either they are regulated out of existence or human society across much of the world will fail. We cannot all win: either these industries survive or we do. But we can all lose, because, eventually, they will go down with the rest of us. — George Monibot, Running Amoc
Global warming is demonstrating that capitalism is hell bent, in its death agongy, on taking all life with it! Goege Monibot has has made it clear! It’s Ceither capitaliam goes into the dustbin of history, or we all go!
In the present world, the rights of the capitalists to make a profit are in direct conflict with our basic rights! In this sense, the capitalist system has become a threat to humanity!
Jefferson’s words, from the Declaration of Independence, that human rights are unalienable, mean that these rights can never be superseded. At all points of conflict the rights of humanity to survive must supersede the right of the few to make a profit. The right to a safe environment is an unalienable human right!
Since environmental illness and destruction are a global concern, it requires all of humanity to act collectively, in our overall interests for our survival as a species, to correct the problem and to remove the obstacle of capitalism. It requires a society where humanity has social, economic, and political control over the entire environment.
Such a society, a socialist society, is needed to ensure that all decisions affecting the environment are under the democratic control of humankind so that the production of goods will be done for the needs and survival of humanity instead of the production and the destruction of humanity and other species for profit.With common ownership of the means of production, and common control and protection of all property and wealth, science and society will be in harmony with the ecosystem and humanity’s future.
With these goals we can begin to build a more effective environmental movement. As we continue to organize against capitalism and its destructive course, we can and will transform the world!
If socialist cannot unite to oppose capitalism and organize the working class of the world to protect life itself, Then who will? Then it is over!
What is needed, in the words of Jeremy Corbyn, is a Green Industrial Revolution!
Rosa Luxenburg, after WWI, raised the slogan: Socialism or Barbarism! The slogan for to today is Ecosocialism or Ecocide!
