  Capitalism has almost irreversibly fucked up the planet, the neoliberal Anthropocene does not care about anything but profit. Cleaning the wasted planet is not a profitable endeavour. Thus
  
  We shouldn’t ask whether we must
  get out of capitalism so that
  humans can survive. We must
  ask how and when.
  
  The gorgeousness of this edition is only flawed by the pages printed in white over black, which cannot be clearly read in the mag, however the digital version gives a clue of what's been actually printed. That's a drawback in an otherwise brilliant edition, because the Tyrannosaurus Rex Tillerson and the fuckwit republicans policies in line with the dictatorship of Exxon Mobile and assorted petroleum corporations ruling your fake democracy are clearly exposed there.
  
  Capitalism will turn the planet into an inhabitable third rock from the sun, resembling the atmosphere and heat of the second one.
  How to avoid the Barbarism that looms ahead will not go through individual efforts within a doomed system where corporations are the biggest polluters; you may try but they'll fade like a fart in the storm.
  A Socialist Anthropocene is required.

  Depressing, but great. Argues in many ways using many examples what it would look like to go beyond the market in responding to the climate crisis, but that we don't have the luxury of waiting to end capitalism or reverting to a small green fantasy in order to save humanity. Especially loved Christian Parenti's piece, the article about geoengineering, and the article on Ecuador. It looks great too.

  HIGHLY RECOMMEND (even though I disagree with some of the pieces on geoengineering).
