In this episode we feature a reading of the article "Should we ally with 'green capitalists'? No'" by RISE member Diana O' Dwyer in which she explores the current climate crisis and the dilemma faced by socialists over whether or not to support reforms driven by capitalists in the fight against climate change, or is this a short sighted strategy that compromises long term goals for short term gains?

This article argues against such allyship, focusing on capitalisms inherent inability to deal with the climate crisis. Instead we should be fighting for an alternate, eco-socialist strategy built on uniting the transformative power of the global working class and the importance of uniting various movements for environmental, economic and social justice change.
