#14 Eco-socialism w/ Chris Saltmash

How do we act to respond to the climate crisis in the context of a climate movement that has long-lasting organisations with limited impact and others that have had more immediate mass impact but burnt out quickly—is a party the way forward? Chris Saltmarsh has been thinking about and studying this for a long time, and was at the centre of a key recent attempt to organise climate activism with party politics with Labour for a Green New Deal. He gives us insight into the politics and practice of organised climate activism in the UK in recent times and explains why he set-up Eco-Socialist Horizon to engage with the formation of Your Party and why he is standing on the Grassroots Left slate for the governing body. This episode explains a lot, from climate justice to eco-socialism to conjunctional analysis, and covers the Green Party, XR and Green Capitalism. It's good stuff.Eco-Socialist Horizon https://linktr.ee/Eco_Socialist_HorizonThe Eco-Socialist https://theecosocialist.co.uk/about-2/
