a rousing wake up call for environmentalists, challenging the dominant strategy of so-called tactical nonviolence.
also sorta functions as a short and comprehensible review of some of the most effective applications of political violence through modern history

this book has galvanized me to change something about my lifestyle/outlook in a way no book has in a loooong time. if youâve ever wondered what a solution to the climate crisis could look like that doesnât rely on the state enforcing top-down solutions at the cost of individual liberties, doesnât rely on capitalist corporations selling you technology to profit from crisis and that causes exploitation in the foreign countries where its raw materials are extracted from, doesnât divert responsibility onto individuals by insisting itâs your fault for not using metal straws, and doesnât bank on wishful thinking that AI will provide a lifestyle of luxury for all, but that instead emphasizes reprioritizing connection to community and communal self governance, meaningful labor and a sustainable work life balance, the human right to their environment, and an economic shift towards prioritizing practical use over scarcity-based profiteering, then this book is for you. we will have to stop growing our global economy though, but itâs actually going to be better that way.

an amazingly comprehensive, anti-capitalist read that tackles degrowth and ecofeminist ideals. (huge thanks to royallmonarch for bringing this read to my attention!)
Saito doesnât claim to have all the answers, but makes a case that prompts readers to think deeply about the link between the climate emergency and the preservation of the imperial core. he touches on how climate change and even some solutions for it disproportionately impact the global south, greenwashing, the feminization of poverty, the need to dissolve the current imperial mode of living and more. a must read for anyone interested in communism, the environment and feminism. iâve always stressed nearly all social issues are interconnected, but had no idea how to formally put that into words. this book does a fantastic job of that with little academic jargon. (and so what if you have to look up a few definitions? youâre learning something!)
a personal favorite line of mine comes towards the end, where climate justice is referred to as âthe lever of revolutionâ. i hope people take the time to consider this as a read. extremely informative and enlightening đ
