964 || individuals CAN help + this is how || book club || Mikaela Loach

Mikaela Loach said: if we never challenge capitalism, then we'll be stuck with it. What can you do on an individual level? Join a union; contribute to strike funds, help make general strikes happen; allow yourself to imagine a multiplicity of futures and work out how to move towards them. Advocate for climate debt to be addressed and for existing Global South debt to be cancelled so that there can be a global transition away from imperialism. Get involved in work that is directed at tackling the producing class - the bosses and titans of industry - and work to take these corporations down. Call out their greenwashing to take down their social licences - a topic we will be covering in the next chapter. And importantly, build support and power in our communities and through our political systems so that the future we need can be won by the masses. We must build widespread support for an eco-socialist, post-growth future. The climate crisis makes the fight against capitalism more urgent than ever. This fight is inherently political. There are a lot of people with a lot of power who are doing all that they can to maintain the capitalist system. As I write this, the Conservative government in the UK is putting in legislation to make striking illegal, and the main opposition party, Labour, refused to say they would repeal these laws.
