🗣#JasonHickel:
La #crisisclimática no puede resolverse dentro del capitalismo.
📉Figura esencial del #ecologismo y pensador clave sobre el #decrecimiento, Jason Hickel pasó por Madrid para defender en el Congreso la necesidad de quitar a la clase capitalista su poder como única vía posible para salvar al planeta de la crisis climática.

RT @gerrymcgovern: "Degrowth is an anti-capitalist position, firmly rooted in ecosocialist analysis. The core of ecosocialism is that we should democratize control over production so that we can organize it around ensuring human well-being and ecological stability."
"Degrowth is targeted at rich economies, and specifically their ruling classes, which are overwhelmingly responsible for driving the ecological crisis."

"The key point: economic sovereignty in the periphery threatens capital accumulation in the core."
"Israel is not an "ally" of the US [...] It is a proxy force — an attack dog."
"A liberated Palestine means a liberated Middle East. And a liberated Middle East — at the hinge of Africa, Asia and Europe — is strongly antithetical to the interests of Western capital."

#JasonHickel writes that while the climate movement has done amazing work, it’s hit a wall — and that wall is #capitalism.
It prioritizes profit over people or the planet, so it keeps investing in #FossilFuels because they’re more profitable, even though we know what needs to change.
Only by moving toward economic #democracy — where we control production for social and ecological goals, not just profit — can we realistically solve the #ClimateCrisis.

"Jsme depresívní, osamělá a odcizená společnost, protože žijeme v ekonomickém systému, který staví na uměle vytvořeném nedostatku, vykořisťování a extrakci. Tento systém nás ničí každý den." Jason Hickel

Here's one for everyone who enjoyed all the pull quotes from Jason Hickel's interview on Tech Won't Save Us.
#TIL that @jasonhickel has a fediverse account!
"I think that democracy is key here.
Let me first just back up and point to something else, which is that when you say these things, people are like: Oh, that sounds like a totalitarian economy where you have some kind of shadowy elites kind of planning things. I’m like, mate, we actually already live in a totalitarian economy, where capital controls what gets produced."

"We’re told that capitalism is almost synonymous with innovation. And I really feel that’s not true ... We live in a shadow of the world that we could live in.
We could have much ... more durable products. We could have better public transit systems that are high quality, efficient, integrated ... So, we could have much more efficient buildings. Our appliances could be more efficient."
