If you email Pluto - with a proposal to do a review (and you have somewhere that will publish) - they will hopefully send you a copy!

So glad to finally get my hands on this - @kaiheron.bsky.social,
@kmilb.bsky.social and @bertrussell.bsky.social are some of the clearest and sharpest thinkers on post-capitalist futures, green transition, commons, social movements and eco-socialism. Essential reading.

Why the strawberry on the front cover of our new book? Three reasons. The first is the simplest: they’re red and green, representing communism and ecology. 1/15

So please to have this article in this superb issue of Tribune.

@bertrussell.bsky.social, @kaiheron.bsky.social, and I lay out a few arguments from our Radical Abundance book. We explain why the political centre and right have taken such a sharp authoritarian turn, and what we can do about it.

When the Labour government panders to and “acknowledges” anti-immigration sentiment, this is who and what they’re fuelling.

“Why are we sending money to the Beijing Lesbian Opera company?”
