An extinction code of exploitation of the natural & social world lies at the heart of the capitalist growth protocol It makes rebelling for a green, fair capitalism a dead end

Net Zero 2050 & clean energy for endless growth are political placebos for the extinction course Our choice is clear: accept greenwashing corporate ownership power & just nudge a glacial transition or form a progressive coalition to nationalise this power & implement real change

Dear Friends. Given Twitter's uncertain future, I wish to thank you for your interest and support for the book. Very much appreciated. I am working on a sequel, The Extinction Alternative, that will build upon the perspectives outlined and hopefully completed in late 2023. John

'Green' capital is a sub branch of global corporate capital "Oz as a clean energy superpower" is just spin for private interests & profit unless WE own & control the transition

The Oz 'greenslide' election is only a temp sigh of relief unless WE seize the moment & reverse 40y of NeoLib policies creating crises in ecological and social wellbeing

Ownership = core political power. Realising deeper forms of democracy STARTS with & from a platform of democratic public ownership of central levers of the economy

A fairer society and liveable ecology requires building a new political economy. See our joint author blog, Stewardship & the Ownership Question, at Emerald Pub.

The gas/energy crisis in Aus, orchestrated by fossilised corporates and their govs., demands a coalition for democratic nationalisation of the green transition

Ending the eco-emergency requires common cause & action across our progressive silos. See my Dissent in the Contested (green) Transition, Green Agenda, Winter 2021

The Broad Left must meet the historical moment. Two urgent alliance tasks: Block the Ultra Right getting elected with strategic voting; Break cycle of Centrist corporate gov. with wide coalition for democratic public ownership alternatives to capitalist social & ecological crises

Ecological & cost of living crises reflect capitalist market success, not failure. Profits are soaring. Calls for more tax, regulation, competition, bailouts, are lame political bandaids. They mask, not challenge, the endless structural expansion of corporate power at our expense

@GreigAlastair The votes for real climate action in Australia and for United Left in France show that a progressive alternative to the authoritarian extinction curve is possible.
