While the US government is busy trying to create a humanitarian crisis in Cuba by choking off their oil, China is offering aid by providing solar power installations. Just in case you’re wondering who the bad guys and good guys are.

Thinking about placing a huge bet on a gambling app that its stock will 10x, then shorting the stock on my investing app, is this anything?

Targeted degrowth alongside a switch to renewable energy could make global oil crises a thing of the past. And it would also have the added benefit of reducing carbon emissions, improving public health, and increasing quality of life for many. This is a future we can easily have.

As the US continues to antagonize Cuba, you can expect a deluge of lies about socialism there. But the truth is very few countries have achieved what they have in terms of standards of living for all, literacy rates, medical access, and more, all in the face of actively hostile international relations.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that those in power view climate change as an opportunity for imperialist, Arctic expansion, rather than a crisis to be mitigated. The potential conflicts and wars to come will never benefit the people or the working class. The demand is no war but class war.

I’ve said it before, but it needs repeating: We already have all the knowledge and technology we need to make an ecological society. It is our political and economic structures that prevent it. The quest for unlimited growth and accumulation exploits both people and our environment.
