LIVE: watch this livestream all day on how public ownership is crucial to a Green New Deal!

Neoliberal “green growth” policies keep failing to tackle the climate crisis—we need radical alternatives to transform our economy.

The future is a public good!

LIVE: Thea Riofrancos, Johanna Bozuwa, & international unionists on building momentum to reclaim full public ownership over privatized “investor owned utilities.”

How do win a public-powered Green New Deal, & what kinds of local campaigns are emerging?

“It’s worth emphasizing how hard it is to organize around energy in the US—a lot of technocratic decision-making by elites, in sessions inaccessible to working class people.

@DemSocialists & allies are organizing to expand public power.” —@triofrancos

“Capitalism is the problem—DSA is building power for public ownership in a Green New Deal against greed in our energy system.

“We know we can’t decarbonize fast enough unless we also democratize, decommodify & decolonize energy for all.” —@triofrancos

“Public ownership doesn’t automatically make energy utilities democratic. There are opportunities for us to rethink what it means—like having environmental justice & worker reps on boards.

“Community organizing has to drive the process.” —@johannabozuwa

The German government unveiled a major policy package to combat #climate change. The subsequent discussion in the German media shows the huge political and economic cost of a simple-minded focus on #carbon pricing – it’s the 1980s all over again! A Thread @BMF_Bund @JWMason1
The policy package contains a mix of mainly sensible measures: A slowly increasing carbon price, public investment (public trains), subsidies for switching to green technology, transfers to compensate “losers”, and a plan to move out of coal energy.
What happened in the subsequent media discussion is very interesting. As expected, there was critique of certain transfers and subsidies that some groups did not like (“waste of money”). Also, the opposition parties were critical – no surprise here.

Good evening! I will begin live-tweeting the #DemDebate2020 at 9PM ET for @CourthouseNews but in the meantime, let's go over some policy points for each of tonight's contenders.
Tonight’s candidates on the debate stage are: @JoeBiden, @BernieSanders, @KamalaHarris, @PeteButtigieg, @MichaelBennet, @SenGillibrand (Kirsten Gillibrand), John @Hickenlooper, @ericswalwell, @Marwilliamson (Marianne Williamson) and @Andrew Yang.
But first, we'll revisit rules quickly: recall, candidates have 60 seconds to respond, 30 seconds for follow-ups. There will be no opening remarks to save time but closing remarks will be delivered by each.

The debate is on the UK's progress towards net zero. Lib dem's Layla Moran kicks off. Stresses the debate has cross party backing and says she would not have applied for the debate without the School Strikes.
The House looks just under a quarter full. The Government benches... less so.
Jonathan Edwards of Plaid says the House is 'dysfunctional'. Complains that MPs bang on about Brexit, but it is a disgrace that climate has not been debated for two years.

One thing in the way of effective action on our #climate crisis (and our toxics crisis, our biodiversity crisis, our plastics in the ocean crisis, not to mention our violence, war, poverty, racism, & sexism crises) is a terrible misunderstanding of who/what we are.
Many people speak about this as a spiritual/moral crisis and I agree. But, the misunderstanding I want to talk about is at once simpler and more profound.
(Note - when I say 'we' I mean those of us acculturated into the western industrial growth mindset, which in evolutionarily relevant timescales has only been around for a fleeting instant. Humans haven't always thought this way, and not all humans alive today think this way.)

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

When I hear ppl saying that we need systems change and not culture change to address #climate breakdown, I think ppl overstate the ability of top down law reform to change culture. Law reform is not particularly effective and changing culture. 1/
Guess what - the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments did not achieve the end of slavery, equality, or the right to vote for African Americans. Slave state culture maintained near total African servitude, inequality, and vote suppression for a century b/c it was in the culture. 2/
Prohibition was written into the constitution. People did not stop drinking b/c it was in the culture, and the temperance forces didn’t give resources to enforce prohibition b/c it drinking really didn’t affect them except philospophically. 3/
