Can Socialism Solve the Climate Crisis?
Governments globally are failing to combat climate change because they prioritise profit over the planet — for real change, the capitalist mode of production must be overhauled.

3 (out of 10) lessons for climate action: Strategies must consider each country’s HISTORY & ECONOMIC STRUCTURE to anticipate which approaches might work nationally & which are ‘exportable’. Public opinion has limited impact; it drives change only when people ORGANISE.

Happy to have contributed to this intriguing SI by @rbaernthaler.bsky.social and colleagues! Our article is a feminist intervention in debates on provisioning systems, arguing that many of them neglect unpaid care work and intersectional inequalities, 1/2
2. @corinna-viajera.bsky.social & Christina Plank @degrowthvienna.bsky.social argue that debates on provisioning systems often overlook the non-monetised economy. They emphasise unpaid social-ecological provisioning, blending ecofeminism with political and social ecology, & focusing on food systems.

The Limits of Basic Income
Providing people with cash payments has benefits, but guaranteed employment and public services are a better option for transforming our economy.
