Join Matt Huber, a geography professor and author focused on climate change and class struggles, and Kohei Saito, a Marx scholar advocating for degrowth communism. They dive into how Marx's ideas can reshape socialism amidst ecological crises. Expect discussions on the pitfalls of GDP, critiques of consumerism, and the necessity of ecological approaches to energy. They highlight the importance of collective action for justice, the redefinition of progress, and the search for joy in the fight against climate change and social inequality.

Returning guest Matt Huber discusses the evolution of eco-socialism, from bright green optimism to de-growth and capital-as-power theorists. The conversation explores integrating labor with environmental activism, agriculture sustainability, renewable energy sources, nuclear power, and the challenges of decarbonization.

Matt Huber, Professor für Geographie an der Syracuse University und Autor von "Climate Change as Class War", sowie Kohei Saito, Professor an der Universität Tokio und Verfasser von "Marx in the Anthropocene", diskutieren wegweisende Konzepte. Sie beleuchten Degrowth-Kommunismus und die Grenzen traditionellen Wachstums. Dabei fordern sie eine soziale Mobilisierung zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels und hinterfragen kapitalistische Strukturen. Die Bedeutung einer starken Arbeiterbewegung für ökologischen und sozialen Fortschritt wird ebenfalls hervorgehoben.
