YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJen Pan speaks with Leigh Phillips about the underlying tensions between the “Climate Left” and labor. Why do “ecosocialists” and degrowth activists so often express rhetorical support for labor but refuse to listen to workers' input on the issue of climate? Phillips argues that a true solution to climate change is impossible without labor, as workers are uniquely positioned to apply the kind of pressure to capital needed to result in sustainable change. Labor alone has the technical knowledge and collective power to forge a future that avoids catastrophe.
