Discussion at Revolution Books on the LA Fires with the Revcom Environmental Writing Group
- Climate change is driving intense fires and storms across the planet. How has capitalist-driven climate change “set the stage” for the LA fires? What are other causes of the fires?
- The fires in LA—and the ever more horrifying climate change itself—are fundamentally a SYSTEM problem, not mainly the fault of government officials or fire departments as Trump bellows. But what does “system problem” actually mean? What kind of system? What will it take to stop it?
- Is a radically different socialist society which makes human society caretakers of the planet instead of ravagers possible? How?
Read revcom articles on the LA fires here, here, and here.
Don’t be taken in by the profound lie that “there is no alternative.” Bob Avakian (BA) has authored a developed, visionary, and viable plan for a whole new emancipating society in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America that can actually confront and act on the environmental crisis on the scale, and with the urgency, and planetary perspective required.
Order the Constitution in English or Spanish.
