[8/27/15] Only Revolution Can Mitigate Climate Change

We require a “radical reconstruction” of society & the self

Fred Hampton, the assassinated Black Panther, once famously said: “School is not important and work is not important. Nothing’s more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.”

That quotation has been running through my mind lately as I have been reading news about Climate Change. Replace “fascism” with “Climate Change” and you have a spot-on description of the state of the world today. Things have gotten that dire.

Before you accuse me of misappropriating Hampton, let me point out that Climate Change *is* fascism: fascism made manifest ecologically at the global scale. Also, I would expand Hampton’s scope to include non-human life. What Native Americans called “all our relations” is the “us” that fascism-induced Climate Change threatens to stop.

This is not a “doom and gloom” essay. Instead, I will picture what meaningful action would look like.
