Anarchist writer and activist Peter Gelderloos returns to the podcast to discuss ecological revolution from below, beautifully documented in his book 'The Solutions are Already Here: Strategies for Ecological Revolution from Below,' published this year by Pluto Press.
Nothing short of revolution is required to address the global ecological crisis. The technocratic solutions presented to us by various capitalist nation-states are less than sufficient in mitigating the most dire consequences of biospheric collapse and runaway climate change. In fact, more than just merely insufficient, these top-down so-called “solutions” reimpose the dominant socioeconomic and political order producing the crisis to begin with. As Gelderloos describes and points to 'The Solutions are Already Here,' numerous land-based movements around the world are rising to the occasion — actively protecting territories from extractive capitalist enterprises, reclaiming what has been taken and exploited for industry, and building resilient autonomous communities and networks, many of which that span the artificially imposed rural-urban divide. To really grasp the scale and scope of this ecological revolution from below, Gelderloos lets representatives of these movements speak for themselves, weaving them into a tapestry that enlivens a radical imagination of what a post-capitalist world may hold.
Peter Gelderloos is a writer and movement participant. He is the author of 'How Nonviolence Protects the State,' 'Anarchy Works' and 'Worshiping Power: An Anarchist View of Early State Formation.' He has contributed chapters to anthologies 'Keywords for Radicals' and 'Riots and Militant Occupations.'
