The ecological crisis is destroying entire ecosystems and triggering what may become one of the largest mass extinction events in the planet’s history. As a result, tens of millions of humans are already being killed every year, and without a huge change billions of humans will die in the next few decades.
Recently, we experienced 15 years of major revolts and radical movements around the world, yet far more people are immersed in despair and depression than in movements for revolution or social transformation.
At the height of our successes, many of us witnessed with confusion or powerlessness how so many of our comrades in the streets and in the assemblies turned towards authoritarian or reformist strategies that have always resulted in failure and betrayal when they were used in the past. Many others distanced themselves from the struggle, exhausted by the poorly handled conflicts, the egos, the invisibilized and unquestionable norms that favored middle class values, and the lack of care in the face of serious health problems, trauma, and repression.
This talk will look at fundamental questions of organization, intergenerational continuity, and communal relations to help us build ecosystems of revolt capable of supporting us and encouraging effective strategies for struggle in times of increasingly dangerous systemic upheaval and ecological crisis.
