ThinkLeft #9 - Capitalism & Climate Crisis

Chico Mendes, Brazilian, rubber tapper, environmentalist, trade union leader, once famously said, “ecology without class struggle is just gardening.” On this episode of ThinkLeft, we discuss capitalism as the root cause of the climate crisis, why poor countries suffer due to rich country’s greed and why class struggle and solidarity among the masses is the best way to overcome this problem.
