John Bellamy Foster. “Socialism and Ecological Survival: An Introduction.”
Time is running out for humanity to avoid a catastrophic planetary tipping point. Widespread mass mobilizations of populations worldwide must fight to bring about revolutionary societal changes and dismantle neoliberal monopoly capitalism, with its reliance on extractive exploitation of our planet’s resources and communities.
Alberto Garzón Espinosa. “The Limits to Growth: Ecosocialism or Barbarism.”

Sit Tsui . “Surviving Through Community Building in Catastrophic Times.”

To mitigate the adverse effects of this reality, communities are returning to grassroots projects that present an alternative to unchecked globalization.
